Where North America's Energy Companies Live

620 public energy companies, $3.7T in combined market value, and a two-city story: Greater Houston, TX holds 111 headquarters worth $2.0T; Calgary answers with 104 worth $616.1B. Everything else is a rounding error with a zip code.

* FY gap marks a Canadian filer with no fiscal_period='FY' revenue rows in our data — quarterly rows exist starting 2024, but no annual figure. We show the gap rather than fabricate a trend line.

How this was computed

  1. Take every company in the Atlas universe with sector='Energy' — 620 companies (419 US, 201 Canada).
  2. Group by headquarters city, state/province, and country (falling back to the company's general city/country fields when a dedicated HQ field is blank); sum market cap and count companies per city. Greater Houston, TX combines the Houston and Spring, TX clusters — both carry hq_county_fips='US-48201' (Harris County).
  3. Industry mix sums market cap by the company's industry classification, independent of the city grouping.
  4. Constant-universe FY revenue: for each company, take its fiscal-year revenue value at the LATEST period-end within each calendar year 2019–2025 (some filers carry more than one same-year 'FY'-tagged row — comparative prior-year disclosures or mislabeled quarterly rows — so the most recent period-end wins). Sum across only the companies with a value in every one of the 7 years.
  5. The ten largest by market cap get a real per-company FY revenue sparkline over the same window, or a disclosed "FY gap" when a company (all verified cases: Canadian SEDAR+ filers) has zero fiscal_period='FY' rows.

Coverage and limitations

592 of 620 energy companies have a usable headquarters city/state/country and appear in the league table above; 28 are missing one of those fields and are excluded from the city grouping only (still counted in the stat tiles above).

The constant-universe revenue series excludes every Canadian filer with no fiscal_period='FY' revenue row — verified live: Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) and other SEDAR+ filers carry quarterly revenue rows only, starting 2024, with zero annual ('FY') rows in our data. This is a source-coverage gap in our financials ingest for some Canadian filers, not a data-quality choice by this report; it also means the 2019–2025 revenue trend understates true North American energy-sector revenue.

1 company record in the source data carry a mismatched country/province combination (e.g. a Texas HQ address on a record whose company-level country field reads 'CA') — flagged here per our data-quality review; the record is still included in every count and sum above, not silently dropped.

Market cap is a point-in-time figure (latest refresh), not FY-matched to the revenue figures shown alongside it — the two series answer different questions (current valuation vs. historical revenue) and should not be divided against each other.

Frequently asked questions

Which city has the most energy company headquarters?

Greater Houston, TX, with 111 public energy-company headquarters and $2.0T in combined market cap.

Is Calgary or Houston the bigger energy hub?

Houston leads on both counts, but Calgary is nearly its equal in headquarters — 104 HQs worth $616.1B — and dominates Canadian energy.

How many publicly traded energy companies are there in North America?

620 in our universe: 419 in the United States and 201 in Canada, across oil & gas, uranium, solar, and coal.

Why doesn't Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) show a revenue trend like the other top-10 companies?

CNQ has zero fiscal_period='FY' revenue rows in our data — only quarterly rows starting 2024. Rather than approximate an annual figure from partial quarters, we show a disclosed "FY gap" instead of a fabricated trend line.
