For over 130 years, Imperial Oil dominated Canada's oil industry.
Their 1947 discovery of crude oil in Leduc, Alberta transformed the
industry and the country. But from 1899 onwards, two-thirds of the
company was owned by an American giant, making Imperial Oil one of
the largest foreign-controlled multinationals in Canada. Imperial
Standard is the first full-scale history of Imperial Oil. It
illuminates Imperial's longstanding connections to Standard Oil of
New Jersey, also known as Exxon Mobil. Although this relationship
was often beneficial to Imperial, allowing them access to
technology and capital, it also came at a cost, causing Imperial to
be assailed as the embodiment of foreign control of Canada's
natural resources. Graham D. Taylor draws on an extensive
collection of primary sources to explore the complex relationship
between the two companies. This groundbreaking history provides
unprecedented insight into one of Canada's most influential oil
companies as it has grown and evolved with the industry itself.
