There is no currently category:Oil and gas companies and category:Oil and gas companies by country, and I don't think we should create them. There is no need for these umbrella categories as the whole categories tree up to category:Hydrocarbons is divided into Petrolem and Natural gas branches. Instead of them, I propose modified version of the structure, which is currently in use:

ALT1:Proposed structure (changes in bold):


 * Oil companies
 * Oil companies by country
 *  Oil and gas companies of country A (if no split possible in this country)
 *  Oil and gas companies of country B (if no split possible in this country)
 * Oil companies of country C (if split possible in this country)
 * Oil companies of country D (if split possible in this country)
 * Gas companies
 * Natural gas companies by country
 *  Oil and gas companies of country A (if no split possible in this country)
 *  Oil and gas companies of country B (if no split possible in this country)
 * Natural gas companies of country C (if split possible in this country)
 * Natural gas companies of country D (if split possible in this country)

 * ALT1 is simpler than the first proposal, I consider this an improvement. Marcocapelle (talk) 15:01, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
