Ontario was the centre of the Canadian oil industry in the 19th century. It had the oldest commercial oil well in North America (dug by hand in 1858 at Oil Springs, Ontario, a year before the Drake Well was drilled in Pennsylvania), and having the oldest producing oil field in North America (producing crude oil continuously since 1861). However ...
This would mean that Canadian oil sands production would grow from 1.2 million barrels per day (190,000 m 3 /d) in 2008 to 3.3 million barrels per day (520,000 m 3 /d) in 2020, and that total Canadian oil production would grow from 2.7 to 4.1 million barrels per day (430,000 to 650,000 m 3 /d) in 2020.

In recent years technological breakthroughs have overcome the economical and technical difficulties of producing the oil sands, and by 2007 64% of Alberta's petroleum production of 1.86 million barrels per day (296,000 m 3 /d) was from oil sands rather than conventional oil fields. The ERCB estimates that by 2017 oil sands production will make ...
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 ...
The Hibernia oil field is located 315 km from the east from Newfoundland in 80 m of water. The Hibernia platform is the world's largest oil platform by weight and size. The oil field was discovered in 1979 but production only began in 2007. The total oil field production is an estimated 704 million barrels as of 2010.
The production platform Hibernia is the world's largest oil platform [2] (by mass) and consists of a 37,000 t (41,000 short tons) integrated topsides facility mounted on a 600,000 t (660,000 short tons) gravity base structure. The platform was towed to its final site, and 450,000 t (500,000 short tons) of solid ballast were added to secure it ...
Canada ranks No. 6 in the world for crude oil production and No. 11 for oil exports, but its citizens worry about future oil-related economic losses. The problem? For all its production, Canada ...
Some statistics on this page are disputed and controversial—different sources (OPEC, CIA World Factbook, oil companies) give different figures. Some of the differences reflect different types of oil included. Different estimates may or may not include oil shale, mined oil sands or natural gas liquids.
