Job description

Welcome to CNOOC International. We are a global energy company and subsidiary of CNOOC Limited with a vision of delivering safe, sustainable energy for all.

CNOOC International, the international division of CNOOC Limited, is a global energy company with operations in Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East, and Europe. Our successful growth as an upstream oil and gas producer has been achieved by consistently finding and developing world-class assets.

Our business focuses on safely exploring and producing from conventional offshore, unconventional, and oil sands assets. As part of the CNOOC Group, which spans the entire energy supply chain, our size and capability create a competitive advantage that ensures we deliver long-term value.

In Canada, CNOOC International has oil sands assets in Long Lake, located in northern Alberta just south of Fort McMurray, which is a SAGD and partial Upgrader operation with a production capacity of 85,000 barrels of bitumen per day. We also have interests in several other oil sands projects, including Hangingstone, operated by Greenfire Resources Operating Corporation, and Syncrude’s oil sands mining and upgrading facility. Besides oil sands, we have shale gas land in Northeast British Columbia, a power station in Balzac, Alberta, and an interest in a wind farm in southern Alberta. Calgary serves as our regional corporate office for North America.
