This aggregator organizes the screens below it. It does not collect evaluation data and does not have a blended inclusion or exclusion list. Open an evaluated screen to review the exact decision boundary.

Screens in this group

evaluated

Oil Exploration and Extraction

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate upstream activities to discover, develop, or produce crude oil, condensate, bitumen, or other liquid hydrocarbons, including conventional and unconventional onshore and offshore operations. Refining, transport, trading, power generation, and oilfield services without an upstream ownership or operator role are excluded. Hydraulic fracturing, deepwater, oil-sands, Arctic, and other high-impact characteristics are separately recorded where evidenced.

7 included · 6 excluded

evaluated

Oil Refining and Upgrading

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate facilities converting crude oil, condensate, bitumen, or comparable petroleum feedstocks into transportation fuels, heating fuels, refinery intermediates, or petrochemical feedstocks. This includes refineries, condensate splitters, and bitumen upgraders. Upstream production, transport and storage without refining, petrochemical production from purchased refined feedstocks, retail marketing, renewable-fuel-only facilities, and engineering or maintenance services are excluded.

7 included · 6 excluded

evaluated

Oil Transport, Storage and Trading

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate dedicated infrastructure or commercial businesses for transporting, storing, terminal-handling, shipping, or trading crude oil, condensate, bitumen, or refined petroleum products. Qualifying activities include pipelines, oil terminals, tanker operations, dedicated rail or truck transport, and principal commodity trading. General freight, passive infrastructure investment, engineering or maintenance services, retail fuel sales, and activities limited to natural gas are excluded.

7 included · 6 excluded

evaluated

Oil Reserves

Identifies companies and other entities that own or control economically recognized reserves or resources of crude oil, condensate, bitumen, or other liquid hydrocarbons through direct ownership or extractive rights. Reserve class, development status, conventional or unconventional type, geography, and ownership basis must be recorded. Service provision, refining or transport without reserve interests, passive financial exposure, mere exploration without an established economic resource, and fully divested or abandoned assets are excluded.

8 included · 6 excluded

evaluated

Oil-Fired Power Generation

Identifies companies and other entities that own or operate electricity-generating assets that combust petroleum-based fuels, including fuel oil, diesel, crude oil, or comparable liquid petroleum fuels, as a material or regular fuel source. Portfolio thresholds, captive-generation treatment, and de minimis or emergency-use limits are client-policy overlays. Upstream, refining, transport, equipment supply, limited backup generation, and fully retired assets are excluded.
