Join Us!
The Canadian Society of Petroleum Geologists was founded in 1927. Since then it has grown from an Alberta-focused organization into a national body representing petroleum geology coast to coast and from our southern border into the high arctic. With over 2,500 regular members from around the world, some 60 committees and over 400 dedicated volunteers, the CSPG is one of Canada's most successful and enduring non-profit professional societies. The scope of its activities within the industry and its commitment to the highest standards of service to the profession it represents have been a hallmark of the Society from its inception, and form the foundation of its mandate today.
