The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP), with its head office in Calgary, Alberta, is an influential lobby group that represents the upstream Canadian oil and natural gas industry. CAPP's members produce "90% of Canada’s natural gas and crude oil"〔 and "are an important part of a national industry with revenues of about $100 billion-a-year (CAPP 2011)."〔 ==History== CAPP origins can be traced back to the Alberta Oil Operators’ Association, which was founded in 1927, after the discovery of the Turner Valley Oil Field. In 1947, the Alberta Petroleum Association changed its name to the Western Canadian Petroleum Association, and In 1952, the Western Canada Petroleum Association amalgamated with the Saskatchewan Operators’ Association and adopted the name Canadian Petroleum Association. At a meeting on December 9, 1952, the CPA drafted a new constitution which outlined the objectives of the organization as follows: * to establish better understanding between the petroleum and natural gas industry and the public * to encourage cooperation between the petroleum and natural gas industry and federal, provincial and local governments, and other authoritative bodies * to provide a forum for the discussion of matters affecting the welfare of its members * to foster better understanding between the Association and purposes On June 10, 1958 the CPA opened an office in Ottawa and became "one (of) the oldest, largest and most influential lobby groups in Canada."〔 It provided the federal government with information pertaining to the oil industry while keeping the CPA informed about political trends, government regulations and statistics. By 1965 the CPA had a membership of more than 200 members representing roughly 97 percent of all oil and gas production in Canada. In 1981, two years after the first commercial discovery at Hibernia off the coast of Newfoundland, the CPA opened an office in St. John’s in cooperation with the Eastcoast Petroleum Operators’ Association. In 1992, when the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) was formed, with the CPA amalgamation with the Independent Petroleum Association of Canada (IPAC) to form the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.capp.ca/aboutUs/history/Pages/default.aspx )〕 Gerry Protti was named as founding president.〔First Nations, landowners, ranchers and Alberta Surface Rights among others oppose the appointment of Gerry Protti as chair of the newly created regulatory group Alberta Energy Regulator which takes over responsibilities of the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) and other key institutions in terms of regulatory issues.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
