Almost half a million people work directly or indirectly in Canada’s oil and gas industry. Direct industry employees work for companies in the areas of:

• Exploration and Production
  
• Service and Supply
  
• Drilling
  
• Seismic
  
• Pipelines
  

Oil and gas employees work across the country, indoors and outside, helping bring oil and gas to the consumer. People work in this industry because they are well-compensated for work they are trained for and enjoy, they believe in what the industry provides for Canadians, and they see a real future for themselves in an oil and gas career.

Plus there are hundreds of businesses – like hotels, coffee shops, restaurants and retail outlets – whose success depends on industry activity in and around their communities.
