Worldwide

It's correct only for North America and West Europe not worldwide. Softy (talk)

Colors

What do the different colors mean? Rossi27530 (talk) 01:14, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously what do the colours mean, it's annoying the hell out of me. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 05:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I too would like to know what the colors mean. 75.60.64.137 (talk) 23:01, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This image requires a legend. TEG (talk) 16:41, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It might just be a mistake. 18:33, 28 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgasparin (talk • contribs)

Correction

The Esso Brand owned by ExxonMobil should read that Esso is used worldwide, except for the US (due to the Standard Oil breakup).TEG (talk) 16:41, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Caltex brand is also missing, which is a major player in Asia and Australia/NZ and should be included as part of Chevron, as it was originally a partnership between Chevron and Texaco. TEG (talk) 20:41, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mobil

The chart shows Mobil as being a brand of both ExxonMobil and Total S.A. The Wikipedia entry for Total does not have any information on this, and on the Mobil page, it is explicitly stated as being a merged company with Exxon and there is no mention of Total S.A. 208.71.48.62 (talk) 19:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I have nothing to back it up, I believe that in some countries, like the US, Total markets Mobil, much like how prior to 2005, Shell marketed Texaco in the US. TEG (talk) 16:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be a mere mistake. I'm not aware of any control of Total S.A. over Mobil, and Petrofina is missing in the Total break-up. I think there have been a confusion between Petrofina and Mobil. --Napishtim (talk) 14:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some employees of Mobil were absorbed by BP in 1996 upon dissolution of a joint venture. --Esparita (talk) 10:19, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Unocal (formerly Union Oil of California) was absorbed into Chevron not Conoco Phillips —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.226.184.224 (talk) 23:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Total S.A. revenue

This page: Financial Overview shows a revenue of 153.8 billions of Euro, not USD, in the year 2006. Also the Forbes Global 2000 shows a revenue of 199 billions USD in 2008. Even in the 2007 list, Total S.A is ahead of Conoco. Ark25 (talk) 06:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where's Amoco?

Amoco was acquired and absorbed into BP, but is not mentioned in the chart. Please make the appropriate correction. Steelbeard1 (talk) 18:56, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
