1. 埃克森美孚公司

Exxon Mobil

财富美国五百强排名：1

2011年盈利：416亿美元

    埃克森美孚似乎是最大赢家。它不仅在2012年财富美国五百强排行榜上名列首位，而且也位于财富20家盈利能力最强企业之首。2011年总利润为410亿美元 ，超过了石油行业内的所有竞争对手，包括英国石油公司（BP）、雪佛龙（Chevron）、康菲公司（ConocoPhillips）和壳牌公司（Shell）。

    该公司以221亿美元总价回购了2.78亿普通股股票。公司还与石油巨头企业俄罗斯石油公司（RosneftIt）达成交易，在北冰洋及黑海俄罗斯领域范围内开采石油。

2. 雪佛龙公司

Fortune 500 rank: 1

2011 profit: $41.6 billion

    It looks as if Exxon Mobil has it all. It's not only No. 1 on this year's Fortune 500 list, it has also topped our list of most profitable companies. With a total profit of $41 billion for 2011, Exxon surpassed all of its Big Oil competitors, including BP, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Shell.

    The company repurchased 278 million shares of its common stock at a gross of $22.1 billion. It also struck a deal with oil giant Rosneft to explore for oil in Russian-controlled portions of the Arctic Ocean and Black Sea.

Chevron

财富美国五百强排名：3

2011年盈利：269亿美元

    雪佛龙公司保住了今年财富美国五百强的第三名位置，在盈利能力最强20家公司的榜单上上升至第二名。2011年第四季度的销售额及其他营运收益为580亿美元，去年同期为520亿美元，主要源自原油价格和成品油价格的增长。

    目前这家公司仍然在应对巴西有关当局的指控。后者控告公司对于去年11月巴西里约热内卢海岸的石油泄漏未负全部责任。

Fortune 500 rank: 3

2011 profit: $26.9 billion

    Chevron held on to its third place spot on the Fortune 500 this year but moved up to No. 2 on our most profitable list. Sales and other operating revenues in the fourth quarter of 2011 were at $58 billion, up from $52 billion in the previous year's quarter, thanks to higher prices for crude oil and refined products.

    The oil company is still dealing with accusations from Brazilian authorities that it had not taken full responsibility for an oil spill off the coast of Rio de Janeiro last November.
