In April 2022, Canadian Natural Resources (CNRL) became the first E&P company listed on the Toronto stock exchange to surpass C$100 billion in market value, the equivalent to US$79.3 Billion.

For this Canadian Independent, a programme of strategic acquisitions, often targeting distressed assets, has resulted in a decade of growth. In comparison to other large- and mid-cap North American players, CNRL ranks third overall in terms of value and is nearly double the size of other large Canadian peers, Cenovus and Suncor.
