Oil & Gas Manufacturing in Canada

Canada is the world's fourth-largest oil producer at close to six million barrels a day1, and that scale built an industrial base around it. Generations of shops here have made the durable, often oversized components that withstand pressure, wear, and field conditions, much of the resource drawn from the Alberta oil sands2.

The work runs to carbon and stainless steels, heavy machining and fabrication, and welding to pressure and structural codes with full material certificates. Producing locally keeps lead times short for field and turnaround work, where downtime is measured in dollars per minute.
