Cenovus Energy Inc. is an integrated energy company that develops, produces, refines, transports, and markets crude oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products across Canada, the United States, and China. The company operates through two main segments: Upstream, which includes bitumen and heavy oil development, natural gas and NGL operations in Alberta and British Columbia, and offshore exploration activities in Canadas East Coast and the Asia Pacific region; and Downstream, which encompasses refining operations such as the Lloydminster upgrading and asphalt refining complex, a crude-by-rail terminal at Bruderheim, two ethanol plants, and a fuels business producing gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
