WHAT WE DO

Canada is an emerging energy super power. Second only to Saudi Arabia, Canada has the largest petroleum resources in the world and is among the largest suppliers of crude oil to the United States. Canada is also the world’s third-largest natural gas producing nation and the largest supplier of U.S. natural gas imports. As countries continue to seek secure and reliable sources of energy, Canada is emerging as an important player in the world economy.

Global energy demand has made oil sands development increasingly essential in terms of security of supply. Its expansion goes hand in hand with the need for improved infrastructure as existing pipelines and utility supply, which are critical to the movement of products to market, are nearing capacity.

As conventional supply sources diminish and more capital intensive projects are undertaken, the experience of Gowlings’ Energy Group can add value to important energy-related decisions.

Members of Gowlings’ Energy Group have played a significant role advising and acting for public and private oil & gas sector clients representing a diverse range of operations and activities both domestically and in the global arena. To serve our growing number of international clients, Gowlings has offices in Moscow and London.

As trusted advisers to clients in both the upstream and downstream markets, members of Gowlings’ Energy Group have been intimately involved in the implementation of new natural gas markets; the acquisition and divestiture of oil and gas exploration and development projects; and the acquisition, divestiture and development of pipeline and refining projects.

From exploration to final delivery to the customer and every thing in-between, members of Gowlings’ Energy Group offer stratgic advice and customized solutions to help clients maximize business success.
