Canada's Oil and Gas Equipment and Services (OGES)

[]

The OGES industry is comprised of two main sectors and further sub-sectors: The industry employs approximately 230 000 people within the two main industry sectors. The OGES industry is predominately comprised of Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs). Around 2 300 enterprises operate across the various sub-sectors. These enterprises are strategically positioned through-out the value chain and generally interact with larger corporations providing solutions in manufacturing and services. For example, contract drilling. In addition to domestic markets, exports are important to many firms. The United States is the main export destination followed by Russia, the United Kingdom, Australia, the Middle East, China, Asia, and South America.
 * Industry Structure **
 * Services Sector includes ** : Geophysical Prospecting, Contract Drilling, Pumping, Pipeline Services, Field Processing, Transportation, Engineering, Geomatics, Marketing, and Other Services
 * Manufacturing Sector includes ** : Drilling Equipment, Drilling Consumables, Pipeline Equipment, Storage, and Oil Sands Equipment
 * Exports **

Canada's oil and gas industry plays a vital role in the economy, creating opportunities for firms to enter the sector and grow both domestically and internationally. Canadian firms that supply equipment and services to the oil and gas industry are recognized as world leaders in providing cutting edge oil and gas technologies. Within the federal government framework, Industry Canada concentrates on seeking out and promoting industrial opportunities for these suppliers, in order to foster the continued growth of this sector, and to help ensure the strength and availability of the Canadian supply base for domestic and international oil and gas projects. In particular, Industry Canada focuses on opportunities in Canada's offshore and frontier regions as well as on large scale pipeline projects. Additionally, Industry Canada works within the federal framework as an advocate for the oil and gas supply sector on issues of national significance.
 * Industry Canada's Role **

The Mackenzie Gas Project is a proposed development in the North of Canada that will connect natural gas reserves to the rest of Canada and North American market. Please visit the [|Mackenzie Gas Project website]  for more information. ** __Mackenzie Gas Project:__ **  [] The Mackenzie Gas Project is a proposed 1,196-kilometre natural gas pipeline system along the Mackenzie Valley of Canada's Northwest Territories to connect northern onshore gas fields with North American markets. We are committed to continuted efforts on progressing benefits and access agreements with Aboriginal communities, actively participating in the regulatory process and ongoing discussions with the government to achieve positive and long term benefits for the people of the North.
 * Mackenzie Gas Project **

Mackenzie Gas Project proposes to develop natural gas fields in the Mackenzie Delta of Canada's Northwest Territories and deliver the natural gas to markets through a pipeline system built along the Mackenzie Valley. Our goal is to have natural gas moving through the pipeline within 4 to 7 years after regulatory approval and project proponent consensus.
 * The Project **


 * The Project's goals are to: **
 * design, build and operate the Project safely
 * create benefits for aboriginal and other northern and Canadian people
 * care for the environment
 * meet quality, cost and schedule expectations

The Mackenzie Gas Project proposes to build a 1,196-kilometre pipeline system along the Mackenzie Valley. It would link northern natural gas producing wells to southern markets. The main Mackenzie Valley Pipeline would connect to an existing natural gas pipeline system in northwestern Alberta. The proposed Project crosses four Aboriginal regions in Canada's Northwest Territories (NWT): the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, the Gwich'in Settlement Area, the Sahtu Settlement Area and the Deh Cho Territory. A short segment will be in northwestern Alberta near the NWT border. The natural gas exploration and development companies involved in the Mackenzie Gas Project have interests in three discovered natural gas fields in the Mackenzie Delta - Taglu, Parsons Lake and Niglintgak. Together, they can supply about 800 million cubic feet per day of natural gas over the life of the Project. Other companies exploring for natural gas in the North are also interested in using the pipeline. In total, as much as 1.2 billion cubic feet per day of natural gas could be available initially to move through the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline. Updated in 2007, the planning, building and operation of the proposed Mackenzie Gas Project, estimated at $16 billion, will take cooperation among many different companies, communities, settlement regions, regulatory agencies and governments. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ca.html
