Imperial Oil Limited (French: Compagnie Pétrolière Impériale Ltée) is a Canadian petroleum company.[2] It is Canada's second-largest integrated oil company. It is majority-owned by American oil company ExxonMobil, with a 69.6% ownership stake in the company.[5] It is a producer of crude oil, diluted bitumen, and natural gas. Imperial Oil is one of Canada's major petroleum refiners and petrochemical producers.[2] It supplies Esso-brand service stations.[2][6]

Imperial owns 25% of Syncrude, which is one of the world's largest oil sands operations.[2] It also has holdings in the Alberta Oil Sands, and operates an oil sands mining operation with ExxonMobil, called Kearl Oil Sands.[7][8]

Imperial Oil is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. It was based in Toronto, Ontario, until 2005.[2][9] Most of Imperial's production is from its natural resource holdings in the Alberta oil sands[10][self-published source?] and the Norman Wells oil field in the Northwest Territories.[11]

Imperial Oil was ranked 34th in the Arctic Environmental Responsibility Index (AERI) for 2021 out of 120 mining, oil, and gas corporations that extract resources north of the Arctic Circle.[12]
