Crude Oil
1. Ontario produced 500 barrels per day of light oil in 2020 (Figure 1). Ontario’s production represents less than 0.1% of total Canadian oil production (including condensate and pentanes plus). 2. All of Ontario’s oil production occurs in southwestern Ontario. Oil and gas resources in the province are currently extracted using conventional methods. 3. Ontario is home to Canada’s first commercial oil production. Oil was first discovered in Canada near Black Creek (later renamed Oil Springs) i...
Refined Petroleum Products
1. Ontario has four refineries: Imperial Oil, Suncor, and Shell in or around Sarnia, and Imperial Oil in Nanticoke. These refineries have a total capacity of 393 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d), which gives Ontario the second largest refining capacity, after Alberta, and accounts for 20% of total Canadian refining capacity. 2. Western Canada supplies most of the crude oil for Ontario’s refineries. Imports from the United States (U.S.) account for around 10% of total crude oil consumedby Ontar...
Natural Gas/Natural Gas Liquids
1. In 2020, natural gas production in Ontario averaged 6.9 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) (Figure 1). Ontario’s production represented less than 0.1% of total Canadian natural gas production in 2020. All of the province’s natural gas production is in southern Ontario. 2. Ontario’s remaining resource of recoverable, sales-quality natural gas was estimated to be 665 billion cubic feet (Bcf) at year-end 2019. 3. The Sarnia NGL fractionator is one of the main sources of propane and butane fo...
Crude Oil and Liquids
1. Sarnia is the major oil refining and petrochemical hub in Ontario. Sarnia receives crude oil and NGLs from western Canada and North Dakota via Enbridge’s Lines 5 and 78, which form part of the Enbridge Mainline and have capacities of 540 Mb/d and 500 Mb/d, respectively (Figure 3). 2. Enbridge’s Lines 9 and 7 run eastwards from Sarnia to supply refineries in eastern Ontario and Quebec. Line 9, which is not part of the Enbridge Mainline System, has a capacity of 300 Mb/d and transports crude...
Natural Gas
1. TC Energy’s (formerly TransCanada) Canadian Mainline begins at the Alberta/Saskatchewan border and transports western Canadian gas through the Prairies to Ontario, and through a portion of Quebec (Figure 4). 2. The Mainline connects with other pipelines at several import/export points in southern Ontario. It also connects to the Trans-Quebec and Maritimes(TQM) pipeline at the Ontario/Quebec border. 3. Historically, Ontario was largely supplied by western Canadian natural gas and more natur...

1. Union Gas operates the small-scale Hagar LNGliquefaction and storage facility near Sudbury. It has been in operation since 1968 and has 0.6 Bcf of LNG onsite storage.
Total Energy Consumption
1. End-use demand in Ontario was 3 150 petajoules (PJ) in 2019. The largest sector for energy demand was industrial at 35% of total demand, followed by transportation at 30%, residential at 19%, and commercial at 16% (Figure 5). Ontario’s total energy demand was the second largest in Canada, and the ninth largest on a per capita basis. 2. Refined petroleum products were the largest fuel type consumed in Ontario, accounting for 1 451 PJ, or 46% of total end-use demand. Natural gas and electric...
Refined Petroleum Products
1. Ontario’s motor gasoline demand in 2019 was 1 192 litres per capita, 6% below the national average of 1 268 litres per capita. 2. Ontario’s diesel demand in 2019 was 513 litres per capita, 40% below the national average of 855 litres per capita. 3. Refineries in the province can produce roughly 75% of Ontario’s demand for RPPs, including gasoline. Imports are mainly from Quebec, delivered via the Trans-Northern Pipeline, rail, and truck. Imports also come from the U.S. Midwest.
Natural Gas
1. Ontario consumed an average of 2.7 Bcf/d of natural gas in 2020. Ontario demand represented 24% of total Canadian demand, making it the largest consuming province after Alberta. 2. Ontario’s largest consuming sector for natural gas was the industrial sector, which consumed 1.1 Bcf/d in 2020. The residential and commercial sectors each consumed 0.8 Bcf/d.
May 29, 2023 · Ontario’s electricity system is designed to support the needs of approximately: 5.25 million residential and small business customers. 53,000 commercial consumers. 1,400 industrial consumers.

Jun 24, 2022 · According to Rystad Energy, assuming all planned LNG facilities go forward, Canadian LNG production would begin in 2025 at 3.3 bcm per year, rise to 55.1 bcm per year by 2039, and then fall slightly to 52.6 bcm by 2050 (see Figure 11) (Rystad Energy, 2022). Most of this LNG would be exported to the Asia-Pacific through BC’s west coast.
Jun 26, 2024 · Some partners Footnote 2 in LNG Canada may also be ramping up their production to prepare for the startup of the project, which is expected by the middle of 2025. Footnote 3 Saskatchewan natural gas production was declining the last few years but increased by 1% in 2023. Total production from other provinces and territories remained level ...
In 2022, the Montney Formation produced 8.1 Bcf/d (228 10 6 m³/d), just less than half of Canada’s gas production and up from 0.8 Bcf/d (23 10 6 m³/d) in 2010. Key trends: natural gas production In the Global Net-zero Scenario, gas production falls by over two thirds from 2022 to 2050, mostly because natural gas prices fall to much lower levels.

The growth in LNG production in Canada over the next decade and one half would require a significant increase in LNG investment. Figure 14 depicts total capital expenditures (capex) for LNG projects in Canada between 2021 and 2035. Cumulative LNG capex in Canada is estimated at over $29.6 billion between 2021 and 2035 (see Figure 14).
