Upstream, midstream, and downstream are the three primary divisions that make up the oil and Gas Companies everywhere, including Canada. These divisions are largely consistent across all locations. Exploration and production, often known as E&'P, refers to the process by which crude oil and natural gas are extracted from the earth. This process involves drilling wells to reach oil deposits located below the surface of the earth. Because both of these technologies are very pricey compared to more conventional ways of well-extraction, the price of oil at which oil sand producers may break even is much higher than the price at which more conventional producers can break even.
While upstream firms focus on the exploration and production of crude oil, downstream companies are responsible for refining and marketing finished petroleum products. Midstream companies store and transport oil and gas. Based on revenue generated over the last 12 months (TTM), the ten largest oil and gas firms in Canada are the following.
