Alberta is the largest natural gas producing province in Canada. In 2020, over 121 billion cubic meters of natural gas were sourced from gas fields in Alberta. This was nearly double the amount extracted in British Columbia, which ranked second.

This data set provides historical monthly marketable natural gas production by province from the beginning of 2000 to the most current available month for each province. Data is gathered from provincial government websites and marketable natural gas is calculated. https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-commodities/natural-gas/statistics/marketable-natural-gas-production-in-canada.html.

Canadian natural gas consumption is highly variable and is dependent on weather. While Canada is the world’s fifth largest producer of natural gas, production is centralized in Western Canada (primarily in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan). Eastern Canada is connected to production sources via pipelines. In addition to pipeline flows (inter-provincial or to the U.S.), Canada also imports natural gas in liquefied form (LNG), and to a lesser extent exports LNG. When natural gas is cooled to approximately -162° Celsius, it becomes a liquid and significantly shrinks in volume. This process is utilized to transport natural gas via specialized water-borne tankers around the world. Canada has one large LNG import terminal, Canaport, located in Saint John, New Brunswick. Canada also exports and imports LNG via other land-based and water-based ports. In these instances LNG is stored in specialized modular containers. Canada Energy Regulator regulates the export and import of natural gas. Orders or licenses are required to export or import natural gas to and from Canada, including LNG. Holders of these authorizations report monthly on their activities to CER. LNG import and export activities are available by terminal from 2009 to present. Data is delayed by approximately 2 months.

Canadian Marketable Natural Gas Production, The Energy Market Assessment, Short-term Canadian Natural Gas Deliverability 2016-2018, provides an estimate of the amount of marketable natural gas by gas grouping and by province from the beginning of 2016 to the end of 2018. The outlook presents three distinct cases, a Higher Price Case, Mid-Range Price Case, and a Lower Price Case, each of which are based on a set of assumptions, which are described in detail at: http://www.neb-one.gc.ca/nrg/sttstc/ntrlgs/rprt/2016-2018ntrlgsdlvrblty/index-eng.html. The dataset also provides monthly historical production by Western Canada gas grouping from the beginning of 1998 to the end of 2015. Annual drilling days and number of wells drilled by gas grouping and well depth are included, as are initial production rates and decline parameters by well vintage by grouping for the period 2000-2018.

Canada is the world’s fifth largest producer of natural gas and accounts for around five per cent of global production. Natural gas production in Canada is predominantly from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, although other gas is produced from offshore Nova Scotia and smaller amounts are produced in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nunavut. While Canadian production of conventional natural gas has been declining, production of Canadian unconventional natural gas has been rising. Development of unconventional resources like tight gas is technologically challenging and companies are increasingly using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing to create economically viable wells. Canadian natural gas supply currently exceeds domestic consumption. Canada’s natural gas markets are heavily integrated with those of the United States and Canada exports its surplus natural gas to the U.S. while importing smaller amounts from the U.S. into Central Canada in return. While some companies have proposed exporting natural gas to overseas markets by liquefying it (liquefied natural gas or LNG), any projects that are actually built are not likely to be operational until towards the end of the decade. The National Energy Board regulates the export and import of natural gas. Export orders or licenses are required to export natural gas from Canada. Holders of export authorizations report monthly on their export activities to the Board.
