The company is engaged in the exploration, production and sale of crude oil and natural gas. It is controlled by US based [[ExxonMobil]], which owns 69.6% of its stock. Imperial owns 25% of [[Syncrude|Syncrude Canada Ltd.]], the world's largest producer of [[synthetic crude]] oil from [[strip mining]] of [[oil sands]]. Imperial Oil operates [[filling station|service station]]s in Canada under the [[trade name]] '''[[Esso]]''' as well as other [[brand]] names. Its owned-and-operated [[convenience store]]s use the [[On the Run (convenience store)|On the Run / Marché Express]] or Tiger Express brands.
