The Financial Times has identified Petronas as one of the "new seven sisters":,[7] considered to be influential and mainly state-owned national oil and gas companies from countries outside the OECD.
The group is engaged in a broad spectrum of petroleum activities, including upstream exploration and production of oil and gas to downstream oil refining; marketing and distribution of petroleum products; trading; gas processing and liquefaction; gas transmission pipeline network operations; marketing of liquefied natural gas; petrochemical manufacturing and marketing; shipping; automotive engineering; and property investment.[citation needed]
