E. Oil and Gas
Russia may contain as much as 35% of the world's supply of natural gas. It has proven reserves nearly twice that of Iran, the number two spot holder. It's reserves of oil are debated, but the US Geologic Survey estimates that they may be as high as 25% of the world's oil. The US Department of Energy states: "Russia is also the world's largest exporter of natural gas, the second largest oil exporter, and the third largest energy consumer."
Gazprom is Russia's largest company overall and produces 18% of the world's natural gas. Via its purchase of oil company Sibneft, now renamed Gazpromneft, the country also controls substantial amounts of oil. Gazprom is the world's thirteenth largest company in terms of market capitalization. 2008 profits were declared at more than 23 billion USD. Gazprom has a monopoly on natural gas exports from Russia, but not on domestic production; both Lukoil and Rosneft also produce substantial amounts of natural gas. More info on Gazprom Assets from the SRAS Encyclopedia. Read more from Wikipedia.
Lukoil is Russia's largest oil company (and sixth largest in the world). It owns wells, refineries, and a chain of gas stations which has been franchised into the US. Net income declared for 2008 amounted to nearly 9.1 billion. It is unique among Russian hydrocarbon companies in that the majority of its shares are held by minority stock holders.
Rosneft became a major player in Russian oil after its controversial takeover of Yukos' main oil production unit. For 2008, total profits were reported at more than 11.1 billion USD. Rosneft is majority owned by the Russian government and made headlines for a planned 20 billion USD IPO, which was opposed by such figures as George Soros who said that if investors bought stock in Rosneft, it would be tantamount to approving of robbery (referring to the Yukos takeover). Rosneft has revised its IPO to 10 billion (it actually made 10.4 billion, making it the fifth largest ever IPO). As Erik Kraus, a Moscow financial analyst, forewarned, investors, knowing a profitable proposition when they see one, will "hold their noses" and buy.
Surgutneftegas is another of Russia's largest publicly traded oil companies. With revenues of more than 15 billion per year, it's also among the world's largest companies. It also stands out on the Russian market as a company dedicated to reinvesting profits into new technologies and exploring new deposits.

Also: Yukos was once one of Russia's largest and most profitable oil companies. After it was accused of tax evasion and its CEO placed in jail on a multitude of charges that many say were politically motivated, the company went through a prolonged bankruptcy and was dissolved at the end of 2007. Its website has since been taken offline. More information from SRAS
