ya the PSU oil companies get the subsidies from the government. As the oil prices in retail market in most countries like India are governed by the government so in order to compensate for the losses occured by the PSU oil companies the government provides subsidies. These subsidies are in the form of Oil Bonds issued by the government to these oil companies, which can be encashed by the companies whenever they require funds.
In America they are granted tax breaks (much like any other business, though). But we have to look at the net factor of a lot of things. For instance, many oil companies are punished for pollution or subject to higher taxes than most businesses. ExxonMobil usually pays about twice its profit in taxes every year (If I remember correctly, Exxon made $17B dollars last year but paid $34B in taxes).

In the USA Petroleum companies are the beneficiaries of preferential tax credits and rates which are significantly lower than other businesses. Including Federal subsidies for: Percentage depletion allowance, nonconventional fuel production credit, Expensing of exploration and development costs, enhanced oil recovery credit, Foreign tax credits (FTCs), Deferral of foreign income, Accelerated depreciation allowances, Expensing of tertiary injectants, and Exclusion of interest on industrial development bonds for energy facilities.
In addition to the federal tax subsidies State and Local tax rates on the sale of gasoline is approximately 1/3 lower than the average sales tax rate on other types of products.
Many temporary tax relief reforms such as the The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA) etc cost another 2 billion in 1997 dollars per year that once in place have yet to be removed due to politicians being sympathetic to the wishes of the petroleum industry.
Not only do these tax provisions distort the real price of gasoline at the pump, but promote the general environmentally unfriendly practices of the oil industry over the development of cleaner alternative green fuels.
