Clearly the energy industry remains a cornerstone of the Canadian economy. There are a number of opportunities for businesses to succeed in Alberta in the oil and gas industry, but it is not an easy venture. The pressures of rising costs, a strong Canadian dollar and the commitment to manage environmental concerns are eating into the headline grabbing record oil prices. Recognizing that we are an energy-reliant society, we are encouraged to see the efforts of exploration and development companies, both large and small, to continue to seek out better ways to find and produce our valuable resources. Our studies have shown that the impact of proposed spending in the energy industry will reach across the entire country and will provide benefits to many individuals and governments.
In recognition of the many important elements of the industry we are launching a new look to our annual energy survey. Rather than looking back on the year that was, we will be publishing ongoing updates throughout the year with emphasis on key drivers in the marketplace. In this report we have compiled data from the top 100 Canadian public oil and gas companies and top 25 trust companies as presented in their respective annual reports to shareholders and unit holders for the fiscal year ended in 2007.
This survey has been prepared by the Canadian Energy and Utilities Group, a specialty practice established to serve the unique requirements and needs of the energy industry. These professionals bring together the skills, resources and experience of the worldwide PricewaterhouseCoopers organization in servicing client needs around the globe.
