Shell is a leading oil and gas producer in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, a recognized pioneer in oil and gas exploration and production technology and one of America’s leading oil and natural gas producers, gasoline and natural gas marketers and petrochemical manufacturers. We operate in 50 states and employ more than 22,000 people delivering energy in technically innovative ways. Shell Oil doesn't shilly-shally around, it explores for, produces, and markets oil, natural gas, and chemicals. The company's Shell Exploration & Production unit focuses its exploration on the deepwater plays in the Gulf of Mexico. Shell partners with Saudi Aramco in a US refining and marketing venture (Motiva), and owns Motiva's sister company Shell Oil Products US (formerly Equilon). Shell also produces petrochemicals (Shell Chemical) and liquefied natural gas (Shell US Gas & Power), and markets natural gas and electricity. Shell's parent, Royal Dutch Shell, is the world's #2 petroleum company (behind Exxon Mobil).

Oil refiner and marketer Shell Oil Products US and its sister company Motiva have the US covered. It operates refineries in the western US and markets petroleum products via Shell-branded outlets in the West and Midwest. Motiva does the same in the eastern US. Together Motiva (7,700 gas stations) and Shell Oil Products US (6,000 gas stations) form the #1 US gasoline retailing business. Motiva is a 50-50 joint venture with Saudi Aramco. Though the company has sold two of its refineries in this decade, Shell still operates four refineries throughout the country; Motiva has three of its own.

The core business activities of the Shell Group consist of Exploration & Production, Oil Products, Gas & Power, Chemicals and Renewable Energy. In Japan, the Oil Products business is operated by Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K., the Chemicals business by Shell Chemicals Japan Ltd., and Gas & Power business by Shell Gas & Power Japan Ltd. Show and tell? Showa Shell Sekiyu has plenty to talk about. Showa Shell, 40%-owned by Royal Dutch Shell, is one of Japan's leading oil refiners. The company, which was born in 1985 of a merger between Japan's Showa Oil and Royal Dutch Shell's Shell Sekiyu, imports, refines, and distributes petroleum products. The firm's three local refining affiliates, Showa Yokkaichi, Toa Oil, and Seibu Oil, have a collective refining capacity of 515,000 barrels a day. The company owns a network of 4,575 gas stations across Japan. In 2004 Royal Dutch/Shell sold a 10% stake of Showa Shell to Saudi Aramco.

Sibir Energy plc is a fully integrated independent energy company with exploration and production operations in Western Siberia and refining and marketing in the City of Moscow and the Moscow region. Since its creation in 1996, Sibir has grown its attributable reserves to over 680 million barrels (Russian classification A+B+C1+C2) and daily production to over 80,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) making Sibir one of the largest UK-listed energy companies. In ten years of doing business in Russia, Sibir’s Western management team has partnered with its largest Russian shareholder to overcome the challenges of doing business in this dynamic market and has strengthened the company at each turn. Upstream, Sibir’s production comes from its Yuzhnoye field, operated by Magma Oil Company (95% Sibir owned), and its joint venture with Shell in the Shell-operated Salym group of fields (50% Sibir owned). Sibir’s total current production is over 80,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), including its 50% of production from the Salym Fields and its wholly owned Magma production unit. By the end of 2009 Sibir’s total production is expected to exceed 100,000 bopd.

A proud tradition was born on May 1, 1916, when Harry Sinclair formed Sinclair Oil from the assets of eleven small petroleum companies. Sinclair quickly grew to become the seventh largest oil company in the United States. The original Sinclair Oil Company began marketing the apatosaurus (brontosaurus) in 1930 and now after more than 70 years, "Dino" still remains one of the most recognizable corporate logos in the world. Way out west, where fossils are found, brontosaur signs appear all 'round. They belong to Sinclair Oil's more than 2,600 service stations and convenience stores in 21 western and midwestern US states. The company also operates three oil refineries, pipelines, exploration operations, and a trucking fleet, all in the western US. It owns a 71,500-barrels-per-day refinery in Rawlins, Wyoming, a 20,000-barrels-per-day unit in Casper, Wyoming, and a 75,000-barrels-per-day refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A diversified company, Sinclair also owns the Grand America Hotel, the Little America hotel chain, and two ski resorts (Sun Valley in Idaho and Snowbasin in Utah). The company is owned and led by R. Earl Holding.
