Operations
We are integrated, which means we do business across all stages in the oil and gas journey.
We explore for and produce oil and natural gas and transport it to our refineries, where we make it into products Canadians use every day.
OIL SANDS
Canada’s oil sands represent a tremendous source of secure, accessible and affordable energy to help strengthen global energy security. We are deploying next-generation technologies to develop this important resource.
COLD LAKE
One word describes why our Cold Lake operation exists today and is the longest running oil sands operation in Northeastern Alberta Innovation.
Covering 780 square kilometres (about 300 square miles), Cold Lake is one of the largest thermal in situ operations in the world and supplies our Strathcona Refinery and refineries across Canada and the United States, so they can create the fuel, asphalt and products that keep life running.
What does thermal in situ mean? It means the bitumen here is too deep to be extracted by mining and we use heat to bring oil to the surface. It also means that oil here is produced with a land footprint similar to conventional oil.
