Getting oil and gas out of the ground
The upstream petroleum industry is about getting oil and gas out
of the ground. It includes all the activity that happens in the
field, such as shooting seismic, drilling wells, pumping oil,
trucking supplies, mining oil sands and more. You may have seen
some of this activity yourself. It also includes the planning and
preparation for field activity, including environmental studies,
public consultation and engineering plans.
