The ERCB estimates that by 2017 oil sands production will make up 88% of Alberta's predicted oil production of 3.4 million barrels per day (540,000 m 3 /d). [6] The fivefold increase in oil prices from 1998 to 2007 made Canadian oil sands production profitable.
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] Williams later went on to found "The Canadian Oil Company" which qualified as the world’s first integrated oil company.
Different estimates may or may not include oil shale, mined oil sands or natural gas liquids. Because proven reserves include oil recoverable under current economic conditions, nations may see large increases in proven reserves when known, but previously uneconomic deposits become economic to develop.
(Reuters) -Three of Canada's biggest oil producers, Suncor Energy, Cenovus Energy and Imperial Oil, on Thursday projected higher production in 2025, betting on resilient demand for Canadian crude ...
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 a 2004 reassessment of global resources, the United States' EIA put Canadian oil reserves second; only Saudi Arabia has greater proved reserves. In 2014, the EIA now ranks Canada as third in World Oil Reserves at around 175 billion barrels, while Saudi Arabia is 2nd with around 268 billion barrels and Venezuela is ranked first with around ...

The remaining resource estimates (after the reserves have been accounted) are likely sub-commercial and may still be under appraisal with the potential to be technically recoverable once commercially established. Natural gas is frequently associated with oil directly and gas reserves are commonly quoted in barrels of oil equivalent (BOE).
