Among various global challenges faced by the world energy industry at the beginning of the 21st century, the so-called energy transition, which is distinguished by its complexity and versatility, has acquired paramount importance. Oil and gas corporations have taken a course to increase investment in "green" technologies, improve energy efficiency and create renewable energy facilities at their enterprises. The article provides a detailed assessment of the place and role of large oil and gas companies (OGC) in the development of alternative energy within the frames of the fourth energy transition, or global energy transformation – Global Energy Transformation. A strategic analysis of the main business models used by large oil and gas companies on the way to their transformation in the process of transition of the energy industry to carbon neutrality is presented. In this context, the main strategic alternatives for large oil and gas companies are considered, taking into account the dynamics of their external and internal business environment. An assessment of the resource and technological obstacles facing oil and gas companies on the way to accelerate the fourth energy transition in the context of the present crisis is presented, when decisions on choosing a business model for transforming oil and gas companies into energy ones should be made as soon as possible to create competitive advantages.
