Alexei Nikolsky/TASSLast year, it seemed that nothing could stop Russia’s oil and gas giants. Of the Russian public companies that made last year’s Forbes Global 2000 list, the top five were in oil and gas, with Gazprom ranking at number one. 99 among global public companies overall. Likewise, Rosneft, Surgutneftgas, LukOil and other oil and gas companies dropped significantly in the rankings—from No. As the world climbs out of the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s oil and gas companies will undoubtedly hope to remedy the less-than-stellar performances they have seen in the last year, and climb back up to their seemingly insurmountable global posts.
