Most of BC’s oil and gas activity is in the northeastern part of the province.

Oil pipelines and rail deliveries to BC ports and LNG export facilities are also planned for the northwest coast, including Kitimat and Prince Rupert.

Companies involved in planning LNG exports from BC are opening offices and placing staff in Vancouver, Prince George, Prince Rupert and Kitimat, resulting in new employment opportunities. These are head office type jobs that are involved in the early stage planning of projects including regulatory, stakeholder relations and business development roles.
