Canada's oil production amounted to ******million metric tons in 2024, up from around ***** million metric tons the previous year. A significant share of Canada's oil production occurs in the oil sands, mostly located in Alberta.

In March 2025, some ****** million barrels of oil were extracted in Canada. Crude oil production in Canada net increased over the past three years, despite significant fluctuations, especially in times of lower crude oil prices and weak demand. A significant share of Canada's oil production occurs in the oil sands, mostly located in Alberta.

Canada has abundant resources of crude oil, with an estimated remaining ultimate potential of 52.3 106m³ (329 billion barrels) as of December 2017. Of this, oil sands account for 92 per cent. There are two major producing areas in Canada, the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, which includes Alberta, Saskatchewan and parts of British Columbia and Manitoba, and offshore eastern Canada. Oil is also produced in modest volumes in Ontario and the Northwest Territories. Although Canada was the 4th largest producer in the world in 2018, it produces only about five per cent of total daily production, so it does not have a major influence on the world oil prices. In 2018, 96 per cent of Canadian crude exports went to the U.S. The Canada Energy Regulator regulates the export of crude oil. Holders of export authorizations report monthly statistics on export activities. This dataset provides historical export volumes of crude oil (by year and month), and by either type of oil or by destination of export.

In 2024, Canada exported about *****million barrels of oil per day, an increase of nearly ****percent in comparison to the previous year and the highest recorded value within the period of consideration.

Crude bitumen is the most produced oil type in Canada. In 2019, approximately 292,000 cubic meters of crude bitumen were produced every day. Synthetic crude oil was the second most common oil type. Both unconventional oil types had seen significant growth since 1971 when only a combined 6,700 cubic meters were extracted per day.
