British Columbia is Canadas third largest province in area and population, behind Québec and Ontario.
British Columbia is Canada's gateway to the Asia-Pacific and is economically and geographically part of the northwest region of North America.
Petroleum and natural gas are extracted in the northeast, and new large natural gas reserves have been located in the sedimentary rocks of this area, which already supplies markets in southern Canada and the northwestern United States by pipeline.
Canada's large oil reserves had long been under the control of American corporations who geared most of their production towards the American market, and sent their profits south.
It quickly grew to be one of the largest players in the traditional oil fields of the west as well as in the tar sands and the East coast offshore oil fields.
Today Petro-Canada is Canada's 24th largest company with important interests in such projects as Hibernia, Terra Nova, and White Rose; its gas stations remain a presence in most Canadian cities.
