Services and information
Alberta is one of the richest oil provinces in Canada and maintains its position as a leader in production and environment technology.
There may be differences between the value and price of a barrel of crude oil, depending on the post-refinery end products.
Introduction
In 1914 Alberta's first major oil field was discovered in Turner Valley launching the province's conventional oil resource industry. Alberta was also responsible for a pivotal event in Canada's energy history in 1947 when the drilling of a successful well at Leduc, just south of Edmonton, transformed the nation from oil-poor to oil-rich, overnight.
