211110 - Oil and gas extraction (except oil sands)CAN

This Canadian industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the exploration for, and/or production of, petroleum or natural gas from wells in which the hydrocarbons will initially flow or can be produced using normal pumping techniques.

  • Illustrative example(s)

    • coal gasification and pyrolysis at the mine site
    • crude oil, conventional extraction
    • fractionating natural gas liquids
    • liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) from natural gas, production, mining
    • natural butane, ethane, isobutane and propane production
    • natural gas cleaning and preparation plants
    • natural gas liquids recovering and mining
    • oil and gas exploration (except on a contract or fee basis)
    • shale oil mining

    All examples

  • Inclusion(s)

    • exploration for crude petroleum and natural gas; drilling, completing and equipping wells; operating separators, emulsion breakers, desilting equipment and field gathering lines for crude petroleum; and all other activities in the preparation of oil and natural gas up to the point of shipment from the producing property
    • operating tank battery in petroleum industry on contract basis
    • production of oil, the mining and extraction of oil from oil shales, and the production of natural gas and hydrocarbon liquids, through gasification, liquefaction and pyrolysis of coal at the mine site

  • Exclusion(s)

    • contract drilling for oil and gas (See 213111 Oil and gas contract drilling)
    • mining and extraction of oil from oil sands (See 21114 Oil sands extraction)
    • performing oil field services for operators, on a contract or fee basis (See 213118 Services to oil and gas extraction)
    • producing crude oil from oil sands or from reservoirs in which the hydrocarbons are semisolids and conventional production methods are not possible (See 21114 Oil sands extraction)
    • recovering helium from natural gas (See 325120 Industrial gas manufacturing)
    • recovering liquefied petroleum gases incidental to petroleum refining (See 324110 Petroleum refineries)
