About
Imperial Oil Limited (IMO) is a longstanding Canadian integrated energy company headquartered in Calgary. It is best known for its extensive operations across the hydrocarbon value chain in Canada, from production to retail, and is a majority-owned subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation.
The company's operations are structured into Upstream, Downstream, and Chemical segments. The Upstream segment is responsible for exploring for and producing crude oil, natural gas, synthetic crude oil, and bitumen. Downstream activities involve the transportation and refining of crude oil into various petroleum products. This segment manages pipelines and a distribution network to move these products to market, supplying fuels, asphalt, and lubricants to a wide range of industrial, transportation, agricultural, and commercial customers.
Through its downstream business, Imperial also owns and operates refineries and markets petroleum products, including gasoline, under the well-known Esso and Mobil brands through a network of branded resellers. Separately, the Chemical segment manufactures and sells various petrochemical products such as polyethylene resins, aliphatic solvents, and plasticizer intermediates. This integrated model allows Imperial Oil to participate in every stage, from resource extraction to the sale of finished fuels and chemical products.
