This document analyzes financial data from several major oil and gas companies from 2005-2021. It summarizes key metrics like revenues, assets, equity, credit ratings, and dividend policies. It finds that share prices of companies within the industry are highly correlated, except between companies from different continents, suggesting political factors influence prices. It also finds that share price fluctuations do not necessarily correspond to dividend amounts paid. While share repurchases increase stock prices short-term, other market forces are also at play. Return on capital and dividend payout ratios did not correlate in the data, indicating dividends are not a sole measure of company viability.
