This provides thousands of jobs for people looking to get into this industry as truck drivers, miners, geologists, analysts, etc. Types of Landforms The Canadian Shield is a landform region that covers 8,000,000 km2, 4/5th Canada’s total landmass.

While originally designed to meet the needs of Canadian citizens, shrewd US businessmen saw an opportunity and formed a US company, TransCanada Pipelines, in 1954,

During 1919 one of the most reliable energy companies was assembled and they are known as Suncor. The location where they were created was Montreal, Quebec. Now their headquarters have been shifted to Calgary where all the decisions are made. They specialize in producing synthetic crude which is abundant in the Alberta Oil Sands. The masterminds behind this company are John Fergusion who is the chairman of the board and Steve Williams the CEO. Like every successful business Suncor has a mission which is to create energy for a better world. Their vision is to be trusted with valuable natural resources so they can produce a better social well-being to raise the economic standards, they also want to create a healthy environment for the present

The oil and gas business is highly competitive in the exploration for and acquisitions of reserves, the acquisition of oil and gas leases, equipment and personnel required to find and produce reserves, and in the gathering and marketing of oil, gas, and natural gas liquids. The competitors include national oil companies, major integrated oil and gas companies, other independent oil and gas companies, and participants in other industries supplying energy and fuel to industrial, commercial, and individual consumers.

Through progress, Canadian Natural Resources Limited had progressed to primary heavy crude lands in 1993 and purchasing thermal in-situ areas 3 years later, becoming a leader in the in-suti crude oil developments. As of 2000, they sought out to acquire assets from The North Sea along with Offshore Africa while also creating gas conservation with equipment including "pipelines, pad compressors, booster compressors, gas plants, and fuel lines" (Canadian Natural Resources Limited Performance Presentation Primary Recovery Heavy Oil Sands Schemes, n.d.) While continuing to strengthen the Northwestern Alberta and British Columbia 's basins, Canadian Natural Resource Limited furthered their achievements by recognizing synthetic crude oil at the Horizon Oil sands, leading to a shipment of such into the sales pipeline. Also in 2008, Canadian Natural Resources seeked out the ‘Kirby In-Situ Oil Sands’, hoping for approval on another project. From the beginning Canadian Natural Resources has strived to achieve something different and make an impact. Throughout the history of the company, Canadian Natural Resources has continued to search for new and economic ways to improve the company, "predict[ing] an oversupply of natural gas could last as long as seven years, keeping prices low"( 2011, March.

This 1.4 trillion-dollar industry has been able to benefit Albertans. To elaborate, Alberta’s upstream energy sector, which mainly includes the oil sands, conventional oil as well as gas and mining has provided 133,053 jobs for Alberta residents, according to Statistics Canada. As well, having the third largest oil reserves in the world, Canada is able to use the oil reserves as a trading asset, as it is currently providing 1.4 million barrels of oil to the USA everyday, which is equivalent to $49.7 million at current stock prices. As well, $52 billion dollars in royalty were accounted for during 2013-14. In this way, the oil sands industry provides jobs, billions of dollars in royalties and boosts national income and prosperity through the trading of this resource. This affects my stakeholder since this would give Ed Stlemech a healthy financial resume/profile to an otherwise terrible environmental and societal resume while he was Alberta’s

The Mackenzie Valley Pipeline is a project being done from the Beaufort sea through Canada’s Northwest Territories where natural gas is transport in order to tie into gas pipelines located in northern Alberta. What they're trying to accomplish is to design, build, and use it safely. While building it there trying to stay eco friendly. There trying to have it built by

Modern day Canada is posed with the current issues of energy and the environment becoming increasingly important within the public and political sectors. The impetus has come from a variety of factors such as the collective development of nonconventional resources, the environmental concern of Canadians, and the demand for renewable energy sources. Many premiers have since called for a ‘national energy strategy’ however the governments tendency to avoid national approaches to energy allows no progression to be made. This has become largely apparent in the current debates over Alberta’s bitumen deposits. The Alberta government has advocated for a ‘national energy strategy’ led by Ottawa placing their political emphasis on the need for Canada to achieve a vision of environmental supremacy. This paper seeks to investigate the clashes of interprovincial trade and commerce powers with the provinces natural resource power debates over Alberta’s bitumen deposits in conjunction with the general Canadians feeling of a lack of democracy.

The case study of NewGrade Energy is based on data analysis from 2009. A privately owned company located in Regina, Saskatchewan that operates heavy oil upgrader, The Company’s ownership structure consists of the Government of Saskatchewan and Federated Co-Operatives Limited each owning 100% of the company and Crown Investment Corporation (CIC) and Consumer’s Co-Operative Refineries Limited (CCRL) both owning 50% (Ivey, 2009). At the time of its $ 770 million dollar, inception in 1988 CIC and its third-party lenders financed $150 million to the project and the government of Saskatchewan and Canada guaranteed the capital venture (Ivey, 2009).

Obsidian Energy is a gas and oil producer of energy. It is located in Calgary, Canada. The company showed increasingly exciting growth in the third quarter of the last year. The CEO David French recently addressed the wells that were discovered in the Rocky Mountains of Western Canada. In that comment, Finch added that there are three million acres of land included in that region. This is encouraging news for the energy community.

The company’s closest competitors are Canadian Natural Resources Limited, EnCana Corporations, Talisman Energy Group Inc., and Canadian Oil Sands Limited. One of the company’s major assets is the research and development of state of the art technology to reach and unlock gas & oil deposits. They implement the use of hydraulic fracturing technology to unlock unconventional gas assets, are able to drill up to 34,000 feet deep into the Gulf of Mexico to access oil deposits below the gulf floor, and implementing gasification technology which uses steam to separate oil deposits from the sand in the northern Alberta oil sands (Nexen’s way). The company has been successful to date, however their lack of resources and capital has limited their growth and expansion, as well as the $4.3 billion debt that they currently have (Financial Post 2). This is why the

Alberta is the largest producer of conventional crude oil, synthetic crude, natural gas and gas products in Canada. Alberta is the world’s second largest exporter of natural gas and the fourth largest producer. Two of the largest producers of petrochemicals in North America are located in central and north central Alberta. In both Red Deer and Edmonton, polyethylene and vinyl manufacturers produce products that are shipped all over the world. Edmonton's oil refineries provide the raw materials for a large petrochemical industry to the east of

Although the company Enbridge is a multi-million dollar company, there are a couple other key points one should know. Furthermore, one should be aware that Enbridge was involved in a major oil spill back in July 2010, which flooded the Kalamazoo River near Marshall, Wisconsin with more than 840,000 gallons of tar sands crude and cost the company $1.2 billion to clean up, not to mention the lasting effect done to the ecosystem and its inhabitants. Also, Dan Kaufman states that,” The Marshall spill demonstrated how much more destructive tar sands crude spills are compared with
