industry. Edmonton
traditionally has been a hub for Albertan petrochemical industries, earning

the energy extraction engine,
while research develops new technologies and supports expanded value-added
processing of
Alberta's massive oil, gas, and oil sands reserves. These are reported
to be the second-largest
in the world, after Saudi Arabia.
Important industrial sectors also include a strong technology sector anchored
by large employers
such as IBM, Telus and General Electric.
