Industry Sector Classification
Remember that in this program, we are using a three-sector classification system to describe the natural gas industry in British Columbia. Sometimes though, you may hear reference to just two-sectors: upstream and downstream. In the two-sector system, everything in the midstream sector is included in the downstream sector.
