One of the major oil companies in the world. Yes, coming from Japan. Apparently they survived World War II and they are now thriving. Well, everyone needs oil right? Petroleum products like chemicals, lubricants, grease and so on are all made from petroleum, so yes they are important. I have saw their brand of oil used in many industries. If you are living in Japan, you can spot many of their self-service petrol stations. They also operates oil platforms (like those oil rigs in see in the sea) and refineries. Just like many other oil companies they will either have to merge or start to expand like nobody's business. If not, they will be bought over or something. I guess the oil industry is one of the nastiest industries in the world. Just look at how they attempt to control the world and destroy the environment and make others pay for it. I don't know about you but I think there is a serious need to control the actions of such major corporations, especially one that impact the environment.
