Classification
| 21111 | Oil and Gas Extraction | |
| This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in operating oil and gas field properties. Such activities may include 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 gas up to the point of shipment from the producing property. This industry includes the production of oil, the mining and extraction of oil from oil shale and oil sands, and the production of gas and hydrocarbon liquids, through gasification, liquefaction and pyrolysis of coal at the mine site. | ||
| Exclusion(s): Establishments primarily engaged in: | ||
| ▪ | performing oil field services for operators, on a contract or fee basis (21311, Support Activities for Mining and Oil and Gas Extraction) | |
| ▪ | recovering liquefied petroleum gases incidental to petroleum refining (32411, Petroleum Refineries) | |
| ▪ | recovering helium from natural gas (32512, Industrial Gas Manufacturing) | |
| 211113 | Conventional Oil and Gas Extraction 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. | ||
| Exclusion(s): Establishments primarily engaged in: | ||
| ▪ | producing crude oil from surface shales or tar sands or from reservoirs in which the hydrocarbons are semisolids and conventional production methods are not possible (211114, Non-Conventional Oil Extraction) | |
| ▪ | performing oil field services for operators, on a contract or fee basis (213118, Services to Oil and Gas Extraction) | |
| ▪ | recovering liquefied petroleum gases incidental to petroleum refining (324110, Petroleum Refineries) | |
