About company

Cenovus Energy Inc. is a Calgary-based integrated oil and gas company that explores for, develops and produces crude oil and natural gas—with a particular emphasis on Alberta in‑situ oil sands (produced largely via thermal recovery methods such as SAGD) and conventional upstream assets, supplemented by offshore production in Atlantic Canada acquired through its 2021 combination with Husky Energy. The transaction also expanded Cenovus’s footprint into downstream operations, adding refining and marketing capabilities that allow the company to process and sell refined products into North American markets, and it operates midstream and logistics assets to move and store hydrocarbons. Publicly traded on Canadian and U.S. exchanges, Cenovus generates revenue from the sale of crude oil, bitumen, natural gas and refined products and manages capital allocation across development projects, production operations and its integrated commercial activities.
