The two integrated behemoths in the US oil and gas industry today are undoubtedly Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX). Collectively, the two firms have a market capitalization of nearly $580 billion and both have had a robust history of growth. Not to mention, on a cash flow basis, both entities offer investors attractive prospects, but for those who want a more concentrated portfolio in this space, there is one clear player between the two that stands out in my mind.
