As the world's largest producer of natural gas, the Russian state-controlled energy giant saw its share price tumble 75% when natural gas prices fell after five years of highs. The company ended 2008 with about $50 billion in debt and recently said it plans to cut capital spending by 22% to $16 billion. But it's investing billions of dollars into new fields on the Yamal Peninsula in an effort to tap unused, remote areas. Gazprom ended the year in a nasty dispute (again) with Ukraine over natural gas bills that left many people in Europe literally shivering.
