GENERAL INFORMATION
Purpose
The purpose of the survey is to collect information on the capital expenditures of the Canadian oil and gas extraction industry.
Additional information
As oil and gas exploration, development and production activities in Canada continue to grow in importance, it is essential that GDP measures fully incorporate the level and growth of these activities. GDP data are used by private industry in decision-making as well as by various associations, industry analysts, and federal and provincial departments and agencies to assess the strength of the Canadian economy. Your information may also be used by Statistics Canada for other statistical and research purposes.
