Dividend paying oil and gas stocks
Exploration and production dividends track the commodity. Many E&P names run a modest base dividend plus a variable top-up, so the trailing yield can overstate what you'll receive at a lower oil price.
36 operating companies currently paying a dividend, median yield 3.55%. Funds and ETFs are excluded on purpose — this is companies only. Prices as of Sep 3, 2026.

Frequently asked
How many oil & gas e&p stocks pay a dividend?
We currently track 36 oil & gas e&p operating companies paying a dividend, with a median yield of 3.55%. ETFs, closed-end funds and ADRs are excluded from this count — those are funds, not companies.
Which oil & gas e&p stock has the highest dividend yield?
DMLP shows the highest trailing yield in the sector at 17.41%. Treat the very top of any yield list with suspicion: an unusually high figure is often a special or one-off payment sitting in the trailing rate, or a share price that has collapsed.
Are high-yield oil & gas e&p dividends safe?
Yield alone tells you nothing about safety. In this sector 18 of 36 companies pay out 60% or less of earnings, which is the group with genuine room to keep raising. 1 have cut their dividend recently, and 4 have raised.
Do any oil & gas e&p companies pay monthly dividends?
Yes — 1 oil & gas e&p companies pay monthly rather than quarterly. They are listed in the monthly payers section above.
How often is this list updated?
