Canada has an extensive network of 840,000 kilometres of pipelines carrying crude oil to domestic and U.S. refineries. The current crude oil pipeline capacity exiting Western Canada is estimated at 3.9 million barrels per day. The Irving Oil Refinery is a Canadian oil refinery located in Saint John, New Brunswick. It is currently the largest oil refinery in Canada, capable of producing more than 320,000 barrels of refined products per day. Over 80 per cent of the production is exported to the United States, accounting for 19 per cent of the country's gasoline imports and 75 per cent of Canada's gasoline exports to the US. The refinery is owned and operated by Irving Oil Limited Refining Division, which is a subsidiary In Canada, refining capacity is largely configured to process light crude oil, although some facilities are capable of processing some volumes of heavy crude Footnote 7. The only refinery in Canada that was built to process primarily heavy oil is the Sturgeon Refinery in Redwater, Alberta Footnote 8 . new refinery has been built in Canada for nearly 30 years* (the last was built in 1984), total Canadian refining capac-ity has remained at or near 2 million bpd, despite the many refinery closures. Current Canadian refining capacity exceeds domestic de-mand. Canada is a net exporter of refined products. Most Producers hit by a slump in Canadian crude prices can earn an extra $23 a barrel by sending it to the new Alberta refinery. The North West Redwater Partnership's Sturgeon Refinery is the first refinery built in Canada in more than 30 years. They say the shutdown adds to a heavy schedule of refinery maintenance in the U.S. Midwest, with about 829,000 bpd. of capacity expected to be unavailable through October, higher than 560,000 bpd. in the same period of 2017 and 300,000 bpd.
Canada’s Refineries. Canada’s total refining capacity is 295 10 3 m 3 /d (1.9 MMb/d) (Figure 3). Quebec and Atlantic Canada have the most refining capacity at 124 10 3 m 3 /d (782 Mb/d), followed by western Canada at 109 10 3 m 3 /d (686 Mb/d) and Ontario at 62 10 3 m 3 /d (390 Mb/d). Canadian refineries have different characteristics depending on their location.
11 May 2018 In 2017 Canada's refineries only ran at 84 per cent capacity, according to the National Energy Board. The story is a bit different in Alberta, where 4 Jan 2019 The largest U.S. refinery purchaser of Canadian heavy oil in the country, Available capacity remained steadily above available crude from Myth-busting step 1: Understanding refinery capacity.

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, B.C. proponents, expecting a production surge, argue more refineries and upgraders would help Canada keep more of its oil wealth here. And where Alberta falters, B.C. hopes to rise with refining

9 Aug 2019 In Canada, Alberta's oil sands have the largest reserves of crude oil, but there Exports: 3.7 MMb/d; Crude oil shipped to domestic refineries: 1.7 MMb/d Total upgrading capacity in Canada of 1.33 millions barrels per day. 25 Jun 2019 In 2018, oil refinery capacity reached some 2.03 million barrels per day. In recent years, the Alberta oil sands were accounted for in the proven oil Production. In 2017, Alberta produced about 2.8 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude bitumen from three oil sands Alberta refinery capacity to 533,000 bbl/day .

The total oil refinery capacity in Canada reached an average of almost 2 million barrels per day in 2017. Comparatively, the United States had the largest oil refinery capacity during this year, totaling 18.6 million barrels per day. In 2015, Canada imported about 300,000 barrels per day (bbl/day) of refined products, mostly from the US. Despite producing over 4 million bbl/day of crude oil, Canada's refining capacity is only 2 million bbl/day, just shy of the 2.3 million bbl/day consumed throughout the country.
