Many energy companies ended up recording significant revenues and in turn, it led to considerable returns for investors as well in many cases. There are many energy companies listed on the OTC Markets as well and it may be a good move from investors to perhaps consider taking a look into some of those. This article would give you a glimpse into four of those.
