Ten largest Australian oil companies?

[kgee]

Hoping someone can help. I have a homework assignment to find the 10 largest australian oil companies (by market cap). I have gone onto ASX website trying to break down the ASX 500 into the relevant sector with no luck. Any ideas?

Couldn't get Etrade to narrow the search down to just oil and gas so will have to sort it manually there's the top 20 in energy which includes coal and uranium miners.

Just to play devil's advocate, have you considered private companies, registered in Australia wholly owned by the likes of Chevron, ConocoPhillips, BP, Shell etc? They are clearly companies (they all have Pty Ltd after their name) - does being registered in Australia make them Australian?

 

[chops_a_must]

AOE
QGC

These aren't oil companies though...

These aren't oil companies though...

And oil is only a fairly small part of BHP Billiton's operations.

It's an oil and gas course I'm doing so I figure the companies primarily involved in gas are ok...
I haven't checked out BHP's reserves but I figure they'd be bigger than WPL
As for foreign companies I asked about that as I once worked for Apache, and the lecturer only wanted Australian
Its the first paper of the course and I'm thinking he just wants us to familiarise ourselves with the industry rather than go in depth.
Of interest I didn't realise Nexus was now bigger than Anzon ...I remeber holding AZA last year when they tried a takeover of NXS ...I'm thinking that gas field NXS is sitting on must be pretty big
thanks again
