Canada
Canada's oil reserves comprise approximately 4.4 billion barrels of conventional oil and approximately 171 billion barrels in its oilsands deposits. Oilsands could provide as much as 50 per cent of Canadian crude oil production by 2007 and up to 90 per cent by 2025. To learn more about energy in Canada, click on |
