Imperial Oil Limited (NYSE MKT: IMO) is a Canadian integrated oil and gas company operating across the upstream, downstream, and chemical value chains. The company falls within the GICS Energy sector and is classified in the Integrated Oil & Gas sub-industry, a group of firms that combine exploration and production with refining and marketing activities.
In its Upstream segment, Imperial explores for and produces crude oil, natural gas, synthetic crude oil, and bitumen, with operations concentrated in Canada. The company is also one of Canadas largest producers of synthetic crude from the oil sands.
The Downstream segment handles the transportation, refining, blending, distribution, and marketing of petroleum products. Imperial owns and operates refineries and a network of pipelines and fuel terminals across Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario, and markets its products under the well-known Esso and Mobil brands, selling to industrial, transportation, agricultural, residential, and commercial customers.
The Chemical segment manufactures and markets aliphatic solvents, plasticizer intermediates, and polyethylene resins, and also sells refinery-grade propylene. Petrochemicals provide a smaller, higher-margin complement to the companys core fuel operations.
Imperial Oil was incorporated in 1880 and is headquartered in Calgary, Canada. The company is listed as a large-cap stock and operates as a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corporation, the worlds largest publicly traded integrated oil major by revenue.
