Alberta Geological Survey

Energy Resources

Alberta is Canada's energy storehouse. Since gas and oil were first discovered in commercial quantities early in the last century, Alberta has been the ongoing focus of energy exploration and development in Canada. Although Alberta’s conventional oil and gas reserves are in a harvest mode, there remains tremendous growth opportunities in Alberta’s bitumen and unconventional energy resources.
