INTRODUCTION:
British Petroleum plc, sometimes referred to by its former name British Petroleum, is British
multinational Oil and Gas Company headquartered in London, England, United Kingdom. It
is one of the six oil and gas “Super-majors” and the fifth-largest energy company by market
capitalization. It has operations in over 80 countries.
HISTORY:
Founded on 14 April 1909 to explore the oilfields of Persia (now Iran). It was incorporated as
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC), a subsidiary of Burmah Oil Company. After World
War I, APOC started marketing its products in Continental Europe and acquired stakes in the
local marketing companies in several European countries.
In 1954, the AIOC became the British Petroleum Company. During 1979-2000 BP was
privatized. By 2013 BP had fallen from the second largest oil company to the fourth after
selling off assets to cover Deep-water Horizon oil spill-related payouts.

and fuel cards. Activities also generate jobs, investment, infrastructure and revenues for
governments and local communities. Its operation expands in over 80 countries.

INTRODUCTION:
Total S.A. is a French multinational integrated oil and gas company and one of the six
"Supermajor" oil companies in the world. The company has its head office in the Tour Total
in the La Défense district in Courbevoie, West of Paris.
HISTORY:
The company was founded after World War I, when the then French Prime Minister
Raymond Poincaré rejected the idea of forming a partnership with Royal Dutch Shell in
favour of creating an entirely French oil company. At Poincaré's behest, Col. Ernest Mercier
with the support of ninety banks and companies founded Total on 28 March 1924, as the
Compagnie française des pétroles (CFP), literally the "French Petroleum Company"
The company renamed itself Total CFP in 1985, to build on the popularity of its gasoline
brand. Later in 1991, the name was changed to Total, when it became a public company
listed on the New York Stock Exchange
ACTIVITIES:
Its businesses cover the entire oil and gas chain, from crude oil and natural gas exploration
and production to power generation, transportation, refining, petroleum product marketing,
and international crude oil and product trading. Total is also a large-scale chemicals
manufacturer.

Fixed-asset turnover is the ratio of sales (on the profit and loss account) to the value of fixed assets. It indicates how well the business is using its fixed assets to generate sales. Generally speaking, the higher the ratio, the better, because a high ratio indicates the business has less money tied up in fixed assets for each unit of currency of sales revenue. A declining ratio may indicate that the business is over-invested in plant, equipment, or other fixed assets .Here, none of the three companies have a declining ratio. The ratios are on steady rise and hence, all the three companies are using their fixed asset to good effect to generate sales.

The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E) indicates the relative proportion of shareholders' equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. A high debt/equity ratio generally means that a company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. This can result in volatile earnings as a result of the additional interest expense. Therefore, a debt to equity ratio is kept in check so that additional expense does not incur.
It is evident from the graph that the ratios are kept in control by each company.

atio
A measurement of a company's financial leverage, calculated as the company's debt divided by its total capital. Companies can finance their operations through either debt or equity. The debt-to-capital ratio gives users an idea of a company's financial structure, or how it is financing its operations, along with some insight into its financial strength. The higher the debt-to-capital ratio, the more debt the company has compared to its equity. This tells investors whether a company is more prone to using debt financing or equity financing. A company with high debt-to-capital ratios, compared to a general or industry average, may show weak financial strength because the cost of these debts may weigh on the company and increase its default risk.
As shown in graph, all the companies are having lower ratio over the period of years. Hence, each of them is less prone to debt financing for their operations and investments. Royal Dutch Shell is having the least amongst the three.
