Saudi Aramco is literally the biggest company in the world. It makes no sense for me why it isn't included in this article. At the very least we need to update the paragraph that implies it's not publically traded, which it has been since 2019, but I also don't see any reason why it isn't one of the "Big Oil" companies. Luigi's reasons are not clear to me, clarification would be appreciated. ThePlug111 (talk) 15:05, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is getting into a warring. we should remove some lead of the page and explain what a Big oil company is, a big oil company has the power to discover a huge offshore ( for example) or to posses a huge global presence in the world ,which Saudi Aramco do not posses or not have access. I would like to know as well why you accused me to be a an italian nationalist? You have deleted sources without a discussion and with arbitrarily actitude. the talk page are made for that. we should put Saudi Aramco in the lead if we found good sources, but I think your personal problem is Eni , thats why you say that Im nationalist - which I'm not.--LuigiPortaro29 (talk) 06:55, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think your perspective is warped. ENI is tiny compared to the oil majors like BP, Exxon, etc. It is not "one of the six or seven" largest oil companies by a long, long way. Just because one article in some not very well known publication (a publication specialising in corruption, not oil) or business) uses the term "big oil" does not change that. Nowhere does the article say ENI is a super major. Nor is ConocoPhillips, which you have again put back. Compare: CP - $100 bn. ExxonMobil $291 billion. And ENI - $50 billion.

BTW, I am not saying the Saudi Aramco should be included - I am saying the first sentence of the article is no longer correct and needs changing.
changing the lead will be an improvement. why they are a Big company and what they do to be considered a Big Oil company at global scale. I think I have the A good source that could help to fix the problem, A Major/ Super Major oil company has to do a lot with western geopolitics. I would like to see what other users say to the topic.--LuigiPortaro29 (talk) 22:13, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So, there is no way to produce nor distribute enough electricity to support the transportation system with EVs and the planet will eventually have no more fossil fuels for us to exploit. Better come up with something else! I would give anything to see the day when this game is over... 2600:100E:B094:2ADE:A0B6:DAFF:FE36:996E (talk) 05:28, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
