Imperial Oil & Gas
Imperial Oil & Gas S.p.A. (Imperiale Metano e Petrolio), also known as IO&G, was an Auresian oil and gas company headquartered in Impport, Auresia. Established in the late 7520s, IO&G was created to explore and develop the natural gas deposits in northern Auresia as a new source of fuel. The company was involved in various sectors of the oil and gas industry, including exploration, production, refining, distribution, marketing, petrochemicals, power generation, and trading.
IO&G was a significant player in the global energy market, ranking among the five largest companies in the world's fuel and energy sectors. It was majority state-owned, with Chaim holding a 55% stake as one of the firm's original backers. The Moreva Petroleum Corporation (SMP), an Anisoran oil giant, owned an additional 20% stake in the company, reflecting the interconnected nature of the Anarian energy markets.
Listed on the Impport Stock Exchange (IMEX), with secondary listings on the Pena Stock Exchange and the Aedeland Imperial Mercantile Exchange, IO&G maintained a significant presence in the global oil industry.
However, as global oil reserves began to diminish dramatically during the early 7600s, particularly in the aftermath of the Wolgos Scourge War, IO&G, like many other oil companies, faced insurmountable challenges. With the depletion of both oil and natural gas resources, the company ceased operations and was dissolved, marking the end of an era for Auresian dominance in the global energy market.
