Editor's Notes
Some quick statistics to give you some perspective on Canada’s Oil and Gas industry. Approx. 186,000 employed directly in Canada as of 2011 3 rd largest natural gas producer following USA and Russia The industry pays royalties, fees and taxes and supports communities across the country (source CAPP) Guess where first well was produced - oil was first commercially produced in 1858 in Oil Springs, Ontario
Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin (WCSB): is the largest basin in North America and contains one of the world's largest reserves of petroleum and natural gas Includes: including southwestern Manitoba, southern Saskatchewan, Alberta, northeastern British Columbia and the southwest corner of the Northwest Territories. 57% of Canada’s original conventional hydrocarbon reserves (87% of gas and 97% of oil production) Now also has oil sands added in (not counted as “conventional”) – crude oil production will almost double by 2025, to reach between 4.3 million barrels per day (2010 about 2.8 million b/d) Canada has 175 billion barrels of oil that can be recovered economically with today’s technology. Of that, 170 billion barrels are located in the oil sands (ERCB & Oil & Gas Journal) 81% of the oil and gas workforce is in Alberta – 150,513
