Oxy Energy Canada, Inc.
Oxy Energy Canada, Inc. (OEC) is a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum Corporation (Oxy). OEC's primary business is to market natural gas in Canada, and in conjunction with OEMI, to provide secure Canadian-sourced supplies to service U.S. markets through main transportation corridors.
