chevron's history in Canada a pioneer in the development of Canada’s energy industry

In 1938, a small field party from the Standard Oil Company of California arrived in southern Alberta in a quest to find oil in this largely unexplored frontier region.
From this modest beginning arose Chevron Canada, a pioneering company whose people have made numerous large-scale oil and gas discoveries, contributed in many important ways to the technological advancement of our industry, and have supported the economic progress and prosperity of Canada through more than 2 billion barrels of legacy production.
Today, Chevron Canada has interests in oil sands projects and liquids-rich shale gas acreage in Alberta; exploration, development and production projects offshore Newfoundland and Labrador; and exploration and discovered resource interests in the Beaufort Sea region of the Northwest Territories.
