The overall economics or viability of a refinery depends on the interaction of three key elements: the choice of crude oil used (crude slates), the complexity of the refining equipment (refinery configuration) and the desired type and quality of products produced (product slate). Refinery utilization rates and environmental considerations also infl...
The Persian Gulf War drove oil prices up in 1990-91, dampening demand and leading to a economic downturn. Since 1992 demand for petroleum products has been growing steadily at a rate of about 1 percent per year. However, product demand is a moving target and the demand for each product does not always grow at the same pace. Gasoline demand has incr...
Canada is a net exporter of petroleum products. Yet, at times, product imports can play a significant role in satisfying petroleum product demand. The availability of both crude oil and petroleum product imports in every region hinges on geographic constraints. Each of these regions has its own natural features and this creates some unique situatio...
To provide added flexibility to the distribution of petroleum products, refiners and marketers maintain inventories of the various products in strategic locations throughout the distribution chain. If supplies of imported or domestic crude oil were interrupted for any reason, or if the product distribution system failed, companies would rely on com...
Due to logistics and transportation costs, crude oil imports satisfy about 35% of domestic refinery demand. Refineries in western Canada run domestically produced crude oil, while refineries in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces run primarily imported crude oil. Refineries in Ontario run a mix of both imported and domestically produced crude oil. On...
In 2023, Canadian refineries operated at 89% of capacity, on average, and consumed 1.6 MMb/d of crude oil. Footnote 4; The Irving Oil Refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick, is Canada’s largest refinery, with a capacity of 320 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d). Footnote 5
Data is provided to the CER voluntarily by the refinery operators, and aggregated into three regions for confidentiality reasons. Refining capacity is an estimate and fluctuates over time based on several factors such as the type of crude entering the refinery, and the desired refined product mix produced.
Canada's refinery capacity is primarily located in Eastern Canada, near large population centers, and in Alberta, near major oil-producing regions. There is a co-dependency between Canada and the United States with regard to refineries. In Canada, refineries in the east are configured to handle lighter
Canada has 14 full refineries and 2 asphalt refineries. Canada’s total refining capacity is 295 thousand cubic metres per day (10 3m /d) or 1.9 million barrels per day (MMb/d) (Figure 3). Quebec and Atlantic Canada have the most refining capacity at 124 10 3m /d (782 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d)), followed by western Canada at 109 10 3m3/d ...
