2011 ARC Industry Report
After 150 years of growth, the scale of what’s going on in the Canadian oil and gas industry is impressive by any world standard. From British Columbia to Newfoundland, the upstream oil and gas industry generates over $100 billion in annual revenue, $20 billion in royalties, land sales and taxes, and $50 billion of investment into infrastructure and jobs annually. In April 2011, ARC released a report that examines the financial health of the biggest industry in Canada and presents detailed analysis and findings of the past, present and future.
ARC Energy Charts
In 2002, the research group at ARC began publishing a weekly column called ARC Energy Charts. It was a simple idea: to help stakeholders in the oil and gas industry, especially the Canadian industry, get a quick snapshot of key indicators through a series of simple and descriptive charts. In addition, a weekly, upfront commentary served as a thought-provoking column on current events. Today, ARC Energy Charts is distributed to approximately 2,500 readers.
