German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Petroleum Eng/Sci
German term or phrase: Förderkonzern
Während die russischen Anteilseigner sich für ausländische Förderprojekte stark machen, will ABC die Position von XYZ-ABC als drittgrößter Förderkonzern auf dem russischen Markt noch weiter ausbauen.

I have translated "ausländische Förderprojekte" as foreign funded projects" (not being 100% sure about that), and I am really unsure about how to convey Förderkonzern, as I don't really understand what it means.

Thanks for any help.

neutral  Steffen Walter: "Ölförderung" is "oil production", not exploration (although these companies usually do both).

  -> I hope I didn't hurt your feelings, but I merely looked at the title of your entry suggesting that you suggested "extraction company"
