Isla LPG, Petron, PTT, Total, Shell have significantly contributed to the
development of the sector not only in meeting the supply requirement, but

Analysis
Fuel oil assumes a noteworthy part in for all intents and purposes each part
of our lives from innovation and transportation and the most essential vitality
sources on the planet. In accordance with this, it is remarkable that the
purported Big 3 oil players (Petron, Total and Shell) used to corner almost
100 percent of the Philippine petroleum advertise before the section of the
Downstream Oil Industry Deregulation Act of 1998. The Big 3 saw their
consolidated piece of the overall industry decrease to 85 percent in 2006.
