The article aims to assess the effectiveness of the world's largest energy companies concerning the structure, behavior, regulation, and identification of areas of transformation processes in the global energy market; improving the methodology of analysis of the transformation of the global energy market in the study of the effectiveness of energy companies based on the model «structure-behavior-efficiency-regulation». Methodology. The research methodology chosen is the model «Structure-Behavior-Effectiveness-Regulation» based on the basic paradigm of analysis of the industry market «Structure-Behavior-Effectiveness». Results.
