I trace my roots back to the 1924 founding of the Compagnie Francaise des Petroles. I began producing oil in the Middle East, but I now operate in more than 130 countries. I’m a major oil and gas company, with a market value recently near $123 billion and significant refining and petrochemical operations. I’m also a major solar energy figure, owning much of solar panel maker SunPower.
