Oil & Natural Gas Production

Canada’s oil and gas development is a cornerstone of the national economy, generating significant revenue and employment. These resources not only fuel domestic needs but also contribute to export earnings. By employing advanced technologies and responsible practices, the sector aims to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship, benefiting Canadians across the nation.

Lowering Emissions

Emissions down, production up – Analysis by the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) of the most recent Canadian production and emissions data shows Canada has the ability to grow production – and our role as a secure energy provider – while continuing to lower greenhouse gas emissions.
  

Canada’s Offshore Industry

Canada has a promising future in offshore oil. Recent activities have been concentrated in Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia, contributing essential energy to global markets. While production is ongoing, untapped potential also exists in Canada’s Arctic and British Columbia, although current moratoriums are in place. This offers Canada a unique opportunity to be a key global energy provider.
 

Indigenous Involvement

Canada’s oil and gas sector has evolved its relationship with Indigenous communities, focusing on mutual learning and benefit-sharing. As a step towards Indigenous reconciliation, the industry is actively exploring avenues to share economic opportunities from resource extraction, while fortifying relationships built on trust and mutual respect.
