Name:Instructor`s Name:Course:Date of Submission:Imperial OilIntroduction:Imperial Oil is the oldest oil and gas company in Canada with a history that dates back to 130 years. The company deals in petroleum products, oil and gas and has a vast upstream and downstream business. It is involved from exploring oil and gas opportunities across Canada to manufacturing and distribution of these products for various purposes. The company also deals in by-products of the main products e.g. chemicals that are essential to many other industries like automobile, manufacturers of personal care and household products etc. The company is Canada`s second largest company by market capitalization of around CAD 36.79 billion. The company has successfully undertaken various acquisitions in the past and is the largest oil and gas producing company in Canada with corporate offices in Toronto, Montreal and Calgary (About Imperial Oil).Financial Statements Analysis:Being the key producer of oil and gas in Canada, the company has a significant importance in the economy.
