Founded in 1924, Irving Oil is a privately held regional
refining and marketing company. It serves customers throughout
Atlantic Canada, Quebec and northeastern United States
with a range of finished energy products, including gasoline,
diesel, home heating fuel, jet fuel and complementary products
and services. Irving Oil employs approximately 7,000 people.
The company operates Canada’s largest refinery in
Saint John, New Brunswick, with production rates in excess
of 300,000 barrels per day. Irving Oil has adopted the
most demanding environmental performance specifications
for its products in both Canada and the US, with exports
from the Saint John Refinery accounting for three-quarters
of Canada’s gasoline exports to the US and 64 per
cent of Canada’s total refined petroleum product
exports. The company also has 800 retail sites in Atlantic
Canada, Quebec and the northeastern US.
Canaport, Irving Oil’s petroleum-receiving terminal,
has been in operation since 1970. It is the closest year-round,
ice-free, deepwater port to the northeastern US, and is located
closer than the US Gulf Coast to markets in the North Sea
and Arabian Gulf.
