U.S. oil major Chevron Corp has replaced Britain's BP Plc as the third-largest non-government controlled oil company in the world, as problems in Russia and currency weakness have hit BP.
BP was the industry's number two until it was overtaken by Royal Dutch Shell Plc after BP's valuation was hit by the Texas City refinery explosion in 2005, which killed 15 workers, and by big project delays.
