It seems strange to compile a list of oil and gas firms and yet place Russian giant Gazprom so far down it. The lack of any genuine presence in the Arabian Gulf doesn’t help but the firm has a 30% stake in Iraq’s Badra oilfield which produces 85,000 bpd and its associated gas plant targeting 50mn cubic feet per day. Gazprom also holds blocks in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, but, like fellow Russian powerhouse Rosneft, potential big deals in Iran could see it start scaling our rankings.
