44 Oil, Gas Companies Presenting at CAPP Investment Symposium in Toronto


CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2012) - Hundreds of institutional investors and investment dealers from North America, Europe and Asia will converge in Toronto December 10-12 for the 2012 CAPP Investment Symposium, featuring over 40 presentations from oil and gas companies, complemented by panel discussions with provincial finance and energy ministers and CEOs, and keynote addresses from prominent energy and current affairs experts such as the New York Times' David Brooks, former Suncor CEO Rick George, and author Daniel Yergin.

"CAPP Investment Symposium focuses on the investment opportunities offered in the high-growth, high-potential Canadian oil and gas industry. With the third-largest oil reserves in the world and equally significant natural gas assets, Canada's upstream oil and gas industry will continue to create significant value for investors, the industry and all Canadians as global energy demand grows," said CAPP president Dave Collyer. "CAPP's Investment Symposium will highlight industry plans to ensure competitiveness and social license to realize these growth opportunities."

Canada is consistently ranked among the top 10 energy producers in the world. The oil and gas industry accounts for 20 per cent of market capitalization on the Toronto Stock Exchange and is the largest private sector investor in the country with capital spending of about $60 billion a year.
