Bitumen is the heavy unconventional oil found in the Alberta tar sands (also called oil sands). Only a specialized refinery can process bitumen and turn it into refined products such as fuels. Few refineries in Canada can do it. None of the refineries in eastern Canada can refine large quantities of bitumen. The Irving Oil Refinery is a Canadian oil refinery located in Saint John, New Brunswick.It is currently the largest oil refinery in Canada, capable of producing more than 320,000 barrels (51,000 m 3) of refined products per day. Over 80 per cent of the production is exported to the United States, accounting for 19 per cent of the country's gasoline imports and 75 per cent of Canada's gasoline
Not knowing about its own potential, Canada began to import the vast majority of its petroleum from other countries as it developed into a modern industrial Refineries also produce a number of other refined petroleum products (RPPs) both domestic and imported oil, gasoline terminals import gasoline in addition to northern Canada as a whole is largely self-sufficient in its supply of gasoline. 16 Dec 2019 Due to the regional nature of Canadian refining markets, Canada also imports some crude oil. Canadian crude oil imports come from a range of 9 Aug 2019 In Canada, Alberta's oil sands have the largest reserves of crude oil, but there are to upgraders for processing to make it lighter – “synthetic crude oil”. of Canadian refining markets, Canada also imports some crude oil. 21 Jul 2014 This has led to charges that Canada is selling out its vast oil The cost of a new refinery is pegged at $10 billion, and would take years to 11 May 2018 So it is generally safe to assume that if Canada could make more money by refining more of its own oil, someone would have thought to do that
