Suggestions:

The thick, red, high-contrast lines separating the bars are reducing readability and clarity.

Aligning the flags at the right-hand end of the X axis labels would allow groupings to stand out more.

Swapping the X and Y axes would let you use larger text for the embedded revenue values and orient the smallest text more comfortably. You'd lose the fuel-filled vessel metaphor, but I'm not sure that's currently adding a lot.

Is it wrong to think “pathetic, Canada has huge oil and gas reserves and not one major corporation to represent that”?

The problem is those Oil reserves are in tar sands, which makes the extraction difficult to scale and profitable at oil prices up until recently

And the lack of pipeline capacity due to Keystone XL being canceled.

On the other hand, France and UK don't have any reserves.

The "nationality" of IOC is meaningless.
They're multinational and investor owned. They follow the money...

Yes I know how it works. Basically : Fuck off and give me your oil.

I'm not sure you do know how it works. I just watched in real time as you learned that the UK has hydrocarbon reserves

From Barron's - "Because of deals signed in just the past year, companies like BP, Shell, Exxon, and Chevron are building enough offshore wind farms to supply millions of homes on the East Coast with electricity and are preparing to produce hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel made from plants, garbage, and kitchen grease. They’re increasingly confident that they can get greener without sacrificing profits.

A gusher of cash this year makes that an easier task. Oil companies are taking advantage of sky-high commodity prices to pay down debt, fund capex and shareholder returns, and invest in low-carbon businesses of the future. Worldwide, total investments in renewable energy is on track to exceed oil and gas investments for the first year ever this year."

So, some of the oil companies see the writing on the wall. OTOH, Shell is doing a buy back rather than lowering prices.

Where are the two Chinese companies getting their oil from? I didn’t think they sourced oil significantly in China.

A lot is through buying equity as a non-operating partner in large international projects. They have done so recently in projects operated by Shell, Equinor and Apache. Other revenue will come from acquisitions such as of Spain's Repsol.

There are significant oil reserves in China like in the Daqing, Chonqing or Tarim oil fields. China possesses an estimated 26 billion barrels of proven oil reserves while the US holds an estimated 32 billion barrels (OPEC data).

China is #4 to #6 (depend on the year) in oil production in the world. US, Saudi Arabia and Russia are all typically around the same at 1-3 with roughly 11-12 million barrels per day with China around 1/3 of that. If all the oil goes through just the Chinese state owned company and if they are also involved in other oil assets in other countries, I can see them high up on this list. But I'm surprised they have TWO ahead of Saudi Arabia.

It is impressive that Petrobras still in the top 20 after all the shit that went through the 2010s and it almost going bankrupt.

About half of China’s production with a quarter the population… so what you’re saying is the US is killing Earth…

A useful indication woud be NOC (State Owned) vs IOC (Investor Owned) in the chart (maybe simply a slight color change ?

Production is good, but 2P Reserves is also interesting. When OPEC countries reduce production on purpose, it's to protect the value of their huge reserves

Knowing that a lot of huge companies oil don’t declare anything and stay anonymous, how can we expect to move to green energy without those multi-trillion companies not trying to slow it down.
