I think you have this wrong. The oil companies pay more in taxes than
they make in profit in a typical year. Here is just one analysis with

It is the *government* that is subsidized by the oilcos not the other
way around....

I'm sure this takes into account the subsidies like oil depletion

Full disclosu I own 130 shares of Exxon directly, probably more oil
company stock through mutual funds.
