This talk is an overview of a current book chapter in revision that focuses on corporate spaces in Calgary to examine how corporate initiatives and events are entangling the work of oil extraction with philosophies of the good life.

Through ethnographic description of these spaces, interviews, and analysis of some key initiatives and publications, this chapter argues that corporate oil culture in Calgary centers around a philosophy of energy, in which it organizes worth and luck for the people who work with it
