Portfolio of Integrated Oil and Gas Stocks

Integrated oil and gas companies explore for and produce oil and natural gas and manufacture and market fuels, lubricants and chemicals. These are very large companies many with global operations.

Most integrated oil and gas companies are cyclical and their stock prices track the price of oil and natural gas. So it is best to buy them at the beginning of a new price cycle when prices are low an dividend yields are high.

Many of these companies pay reliable dividends so their stocks are appropriate for a long-term dividend reinvestment portfolio.
