Conventional types of oil, light and heavy, co...
Crude oil rises to become Canada’s top exported product. Canadian crude oil export values rose significantly over the past 30 years. While export volumes increased steadily over time, volatility in export prices has generally driven the trends observed in the value of these exports. Over the past 30 years, crude has continually been one of the top ...

- Crude oil price. The price of crude oil is the most important factor that drives production and investment in the oil and gas extraction sector. Chart 1 presents movements in two of the most relevant crude oil prices for Canada, the WTI and the Western Canadian Select (WCS) from January 2019 to February 2021.
- Production and employment. Chart 2 presents monthly production and employment in the oil and gas extraction industry and in all industries as a whole from January 2019 to April 2021.
- Crude oil and merchandise exports. The global value chain and, therefore, merchandise exports have been greatly affected by the pandemic because of declining demand.
- Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in oil and gas extraction are highly related to crude oil price. Lower oil prices will drive down the profit level of oil and gas extraction and ultimately discourage investment in the industry, and this will affect its production capacity in the long term.
Apr 8, 2020 · Release date: 2020-04-08. The vast majority of Canada’s crude oil exports go to the United States (U.S.). In 2019, crude oil exports to the U.S., mainly from Alberta, reached 3.66 million barrels per day (MMb/d), or 98% of all exports. The other 2% totaled 91 024 barrels per day (b/d).
In 2020, despite the impact of COVID 19, Canada exported almost 3.7 MMb/d, which was around 82% of the 4.5 MMb/d of crude oil it produced. Since 2010, exports from Canada have increased to the U.S. Midwest ( PADD 2) and Gulf Coast (PADD 3) regions. 2 PADD 2 is currently the largest market for Canada’s crude oil, taking 58% of exports in 2020.
