About Us
The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) is a non-partisan, research-driven industry organization that advocates for our member companies, both large and small, engaged in the exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas across Canada. Our associate members offer a diverse array of services that support the upstream sector.
CAPP's members are responsible for nearly three-quarters of Canada's total oil and natural gas output, contributing approximately 450,000 direct and indirect jobs in almost every region of the country. The industry adds over $70 billion to Canada's GDP and generates $45 billion in taxes and royalties for governments nationwide. CAPP is a solution-oriented partner, collaborating with all levels of government to foster a prosperous Canadian oil and natural gas sector.
We are committed to fulfilling the demand for safe, reliable, affordable, and responsibly sourced energy for Canada and the global market. We take pride in promoting industry initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production while supporting Indigenous participation and prosperity.

- Proactively establish and maintain robust working relationships with federal government officials, political staff, and Parliamentarians to further CAPP's policy objectives.
- Collaborate closely with industry thought leaders to align efforts and amplify the organization's voice.
- Participate in industry conferences, seminars, and other events to network, gather intelligence, and represent CAPP.
- Work with subject matter experts at CAPP to pinpoint areas of policy and regulatory focus that require real-time monitoring and analysis.
- Partner with third-party government affairs consultants to proactively track federal legislative activities and government proceedings, ensuring CAPP remains well-informed and can respond effectively to emerging policy developments.
- Act as an advocate for Canada's oil and natural gas sector.
- Perform other duties as necessary.
