This paper analyses the travel writings composed by the oil drillers from Enniskillen township, in southwestern Ontario, to explain how they went about reinforcing the project of European capitalist imperialism while simultaneously disavowing the agency of native "Others." As British subjects and Anglo-Canadians, travel and travel writing helped to define Enniskillen's "foreign drillers" as both colonizers and colonized. As agents of imperialism Enniskillen drillers became part of an imperial overclass by virtue of their "whiteness," "Britishness," and technical expertise in the mining and refining of petroleum. The colonial oil fields also became a space for the re-invention of Victorian ideals of domesticity. The wives and children of foreign drillers also travelled abroad with their husbands. In their role as homemakers, women also reinforced imperialism and its hierarchies of race and class.   Resume   Cet article analyse les recits de voyages composes par les foreurs du canton Enniskillen, au sud-ouest de l'Ontario, dans le but d'expliquer comment ils ont essaye d'appuyer le projet de l'imperialisme capitaliste europeen tout en niant simultanement la libre action des « autres », soit les autochtones. En tant que citoyens britanniques et canadiens anglais, les voyages et les recits de voyages ont aide a definir les « foreurs etrangers » comme colonisateurs et colonises. En tant qu'agents de l'imperialisme, les foreurs Enniskillen sont devenus une partie d'une surclasse imperiale en raison de leur « blancheur », « pays d'origine » et expertise technique dans l'extraction et le raffinage du petrole. Les champs de petrole coloniaux sont aussi devenus l'endroit pour la reinvention des principes victoriens de la domesticite. Les femmes et les enfants des foreurs etrangers ont aussi voyage a l'etranger avec leurs maris. Dans leur role de menageres, les femmes ont aussi renforce l'imperialisme et ses hierarchies de race et de classe.
