Integrated Oil, Refining & Marketing covers the integrated oil majors, independent refiners and fuel distributors. MoatScope covers 31 companies here. None has a wide moat; 15 have a narrow moat and 16 none.

How the industry makes money

Integrated majors earn across production, refining, chemicals and fuel marketing, which smooths results through the cycle. Independent refiners earn the spread between crude costs and the prices of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, a spread that swings widely.

Where the moats are

Efficient scale appears in 12 of the 15 moat-rated companies and cost advantages in 11: large, complex refineries and integrated systems are hard to replicate and cheap to run per barrel.

The narrow-moat group includes Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Shell, TotalEnergies, Petrobras, Marathon Petroleum and Valero. Companies without a moat include Eni, Equinor and Imperial Oil. Equinor scores 63 on MoatScope's quality scale despite carrying no moat.

What wears moats down

Commodity cycles swing profits, long-term demand for fuel faces the energy transition, and environmental rules raise refining costs.

What to watch

  • Oil prices and refining margins.
  • Capital discipline and shareholder returns.
  • Spending on lower-carbon businesses.

Moat ratings and quality scores on this page update as companies report. Price versus fair value for every company in the industry is in the screener.

Markets

MoatScope splits Integrated Oil, Refining & Marketing into 3 markets. Each table ranks the businesses in one market by revenue and shows each one's share of the market's total: companies filed under this industry, the segments of companies filed elsewhere that compete in it, and the largest companies MoatScope doesn't cover, such as private companies and companies listed outside the US. Each market's total comes from a cited source and covers the geography its businesses compete in (a national market counts only US revenue). A company that runs several businesses is split by the segments it reports.

Market share is a company's revenue in its main market (Market column) as a share of that market's total: every company in it, including private companies and companies listed outside the US (sources under each market above). Revenue is for the fiscal year closest to 2025, and a market that is national (such as US banking) counts only US revenue. Companies that run several businesses are split by the segments they report, and each segment counts in its own market. A dash means the market has no reliable total yet, or no revenue was reported for that year.

  • † SunocoCorp LLC: Holds Sunoco LP (SUN); same revenue, counted under SUN.

Price versus fair value for every company is in the screener.
