Canada's proven reserves of 175 billion barrels of oil -- the vast majority of it trapped in the oil sands -- is the second-largest oil stash in the world, after Saudi Arabia's 267 billion. 5. Two The U.S. has 142 refineries. Canada has 19, with most clustered around Edmonton, Sarnia, Ontario, and Montreal. The number of refineries in both countries has declined over the years, due to stricter environmental standards, lower fuel demand, and the decreasing availability of sweet crude, In 2017, Alberta’s non-oil sands crude oil production consisted of 335 Mb/d of conventional light, 111 Mb/d of conventional heavy, and 270 Mb/d of condensate. Refined Petroleum Products (RPPs) Alberta has five refineries: Imperial Oil, Suncor, and Shell in Edmonton; Sturgeon in Redwater; and Husky in Lloydminster. These have a total capacity Western Canada is connected with refined product pipelines. Within Alberta, The map also shows all major crude oil and refined products pipelines. Ontario.
