The Platts Top 250 recognizes outstanding financial performance for the previous year. Each company listed in the Platts Top 250 has distinguished itself through its remarkable performance and the outstanding efforts and dedication of its team.

Being awarded a ranking in the Platts Top 250 is an accomplishment of prestige and honor in the energy industry. For the first time, Platts Top 250 Global Energy Companies rankings will showcase the world's fastest-growing energy companies, based on each company's compounded revenue growth over a three-year period.

To attain the most comprehensive assessment of energy companies' financial performance, we used four key metrics: asset worth, revenues, profits, and return on invested capital. In addition to ranking the top energy companies overall, Platts also distinguishes best performance in nine industry subcategories and three global regions (see below).
