Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited (COPL), along with its affiliated entities, focuses on the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of offshore oil and natural gas deposits situated across Africa. The company's operations in Wyoming prioritize environmental stewardship, marked by very low levels of gas flaring and methane emissions, and drawing electricity for its production sites from a nearby wind farm. Established initially as Velo Energy Inc., the organization rebranded to Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited in July 2010.
