Oil profits: rent?

I almost hate to ask this in this group - could lead to a lot of
monologues - but maybe someone knows the answer:

Oil companies have made big profits lately. How much of that is due to their
owning oil wells? (as opposed to profits from refining, transporting, etc).

Citations would be appreciated; I googled but couldn't find anything. TIA.
