Analyzing the Oil and Gas Industry in Canada

Canada has considerable natural resources and is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of energy. Since 1980, Canada’s total energy production has increased by 81 percent, while its total energy consumption has increased only by 40 percent. Almost all of Canada’s energy exports go to the United States, making it the largest foreign source U.S. energy imports: Canada is consistently among the top sources for U.S. oil imports, and it is the largest source of U.S. natural gas and electricity imports.

Canada is the world's third largest producer of natural gas and the seventh largest producer of crude oil. Its oil production comes 36 percent from oil sands, seven percent East Coast offshore operations, and the balance in traditional drill and gush operations. Undeveloped energy resources include major crude oil and natural gas deposits in offshore areas in the north, gas reserves in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, and massive reserves of oil sands in Alberta. The upstream petroleum industry is active in 11 of the 13 provinces and territories. The building of the $4 billion Mackenzie gas project promises massive gas production from Canada's north by 2010.

Aruvian's R'search presents Analyzing the Oil and Gas Industry in Canada – a complete research report on the Oil and Natural Gas Industry of Canada. The report researches the characteristics of the Canadian oil and natural gas industry and the segments which, as a whole, make up this dynamic machinery of growth. The massive globalization and consolidation strides taken by the industry as explained in the report with the requirement of heavy capital investment that brings in more competition and the overall focus of the industry to meet the environmental challenge.

The industry’s dynamics like competition, infrastructure and the regulatory policies with the reporting requirements deployed on the industry are explained by the report. Aruvian focuses on the Athabasca Oil Sands, along with the Offshore Crude Oil and Natural Gas Industry in Canada – with details of the major offshore projects. The major industry contributors such as Imperial Oil, Husky Energy, Petro-Canada, Sable Offshore, and many more are focused on in Aruvian’s report.

A future perspective of the Canadian oil and gas industry sums up Aruvian’s in-depth focus on the Canadian Oil and Natural Gas Industry.
