Industry Across Canada

In addition to its contribution to Canada’s GDP and tax revenues, the industry is also a major job creator across the country. Using goods and services from many regions, Canada’s exploration and production of oil and natural gas is truly a national industry.

Economic Competitiveness

Companies must compete globally for investment, resources, people and markets. As leaders in innovation, expertise, productivity and ESG, Canadian natural gas and oil producers have an opportunity to be a responsible supplier of choice for the world.

Capital Investment and Drilling

Capital investment in Canada’s energy sector generates development activity, which in turn spurs job creation and economic growth across Canada for all levels of government.
