The first oil well in Canada was dug by hand (rather than drilled) in 1858 by James Miller Williams near his asphalt plant at Oil Springs, Ontario. At a depth of 4.26 metres (14.0 ft) [6] he struck oil, one year before "Colonel" Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in the United States. [7]
Newfoundland and Labrador is the third largest petroleum producer in Canada, making up 4.4% of Canada's petroleum. As of 2015, the province produced over 27,370 m 3 per day of light crude oil from the Grand Banks offshore oil fields. [1] The Jeanne d'Arc Basin is the province's most active oil field project.

The list is incomplete; there are more than 25,000 oil and gas fields of all sizes in the world. [1] However, 94 % of known oil is concentrated in fewer than 1,500 giant and major fields. [ 2 ] Most of the world's largest oilfields are located in the Middle East , but there are also supergiant (>10 billion bbls ) oilfields in Brazil, Mexico ...

Like the oil sands, only a small percentage of Canada's large heavy oil resource is producible. Often called conventional heavy oil, this low-density oil can be recovered by conventional drilling techniques or by waterflood, a technique of injecting water into the reservoir to increase pressure, thus forcing the oil toward the well bore.
Production in the other major OECD producers (the United States, United Kingdom, Norway and Mexico) at that time have been declining, as was conventional oil production in Canada. Total crude oil production in Canada was projected to increase by an average of 8.6 percent per year from 2008 to 2011 as a result of new non-conventional oil projects.
