Canadian crude oil imports decreased by nearly 20 per cent in 2021, from 579 000 barrels per day (b\/d) in 2020 to 473 000 b\/d in 2021.(1)<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0This is the lowest amount of crude oil imported since 1988.<\/p>\n

Where does our imported oil come from?<\/h3>\n

The United States continues to be the largest source of Canada\u2019s imported crude oil. In 2021, 66 per cent of Canada\u2019s oil imports came from the U.S., compared to 75 per cent in 2020. 2021 marked the first drop in the proportion of Canada\u2019s imported oil from the U.S., relative to the rest of the world, since 2016. This drop was due to a variety of market factors, including pipelines<\/a>\u00a0flowing more domestic crude oil into Ontario\/Quebec(<\/span>2)<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0and the Come-by-Chance Refinery in Newfoundland remaining idle.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia was the second largest supplier of imported crude in 2021 at 15 per cent of Canada\u2019s total, and Nigeria was the third largest at 13 per cent. Imports of crude oil from Nigeria increased by nearly 40 000 b\/d in 2021, reflecting the largest year-over-year change of imports from any country.<\/p>\n

Canada did not import crude oil from the Russian Federation in 2020 or 2021. Over the past decade, imports of crude oil from the Russian Federation have been relatively low, reaching a ten-year high of about 18 000 b\/d in 2019. This represented only 3 per cent of Canada\u2019s total crude oil imports that year and 1 per cent of Canada\u2019s total crude oil demand.(<\/span>3)<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Which provinces import the most crude oil?<\/h3>\n

Crude oil is used as feedstock for refineries to produce refined petroleum products (RPPs) such as gasoline, diesel, heating oil, and jet fuel. Canada produces more crude oil than needed by Canadian refineries, yet some provinces in Canada still import crude oil. Generally, provinces located near domestic crude oil production and with a direct pipeline connection to domestic supplies do not need to import crude oil. Refining provinces located further from the major production sources in western Canada, namely Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador, consistently rely on some imported crude oil.<\/p>\n

New Brunswick, home of the\u00a0Irving Oil Saint John Refinery<\/a>, imported the most crude oil of any province in 2021, making up 56 per cent of Canada\u2019s total imports. New Brunswick imports more than other provinces because it has the country\u2019s largest refinery and is not connected by pipeline to the rest of the country. Quebec imported the second largest amount of crude oil. Quebec\u2019s largest refinery, the Valero Jean Gaulin Refinery<\/a>, also is not well connected by oil pipelines and relies on marine shipments for its crude oil. Prior to 2016, Quebec imported the largest volumes of crude oil.<\/p>\n

What does imported crude oil cost?<\/h3>\n

The total cost of all imported crude oil was $14.7 billion in 2021, an increase of 30 per cent from 2020 when the cost was $11.3 billion. This increase is primarily because global crude oil prices recovered in 2021, following historic lows seen in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The average cost of an imported barrel was about $85(<\/span>4)<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0in 2021.<\/p>\n

Refined Petroleum Product Imports<\/h3>\n

Canada imported 450 000 b\/d of refined petroleum products (RPPs) in 2021. This is a 7 per cent increase from the 422 000 b\/d imported in 2020. Since 2010, imports of RPPs have roughly tripled.<\/p>\n

Where do our imported RPPs come from?<\/h3>\n

The U.S. supplies the vast majority of Canada\u2019s imported RPPs, with 76 per cent (340 000 b\/d) coming from the U.S. in 2021, while the Netherlands provided 8 per cent (35 000 b\/d). The remainder came from several different countries around the world, including the Russian Federation, which supplied about 2 per cent (10 000 b\/d) of Canada\u2019s total RPP imports. Over the past decade, RPPs imported from the Russian Federation have been relatively flat, making up 3 per cent of total imports in 2010, and even less since then.<\/p>\n

Which provinces import the most RPPs?<\/h3>\n

While Canadian refineries produce more RPPs than Canadians consume, Canada still imports these products because some parts of Canada do not produce enough RPPs to supply local needs. These areas are often not well-connected by transportation infrastructure to parts of Canada that have excess RPPs to spare.<\/p>\n

Alberta imports nearly half of Canada\u2019s total imported RPPs.(<\/span>5)<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0These RPPs are mostly diluent components(<\/span>6)<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0used for blending with bitumen extracted from the oil sands to allow it to flow through pipelines. This blended crude oil is transported for consumption in Canadian refineries, as well as for export on CER-regulated pipelines, rail, and to a lesser extent, truck.<\/p>\n

Quebec is the next largest importer of refined products, making up nearly 20 per cent of total Canadian imports, followed by Ontario at 10 per cent. These two provinces are home to the majority of Canadians; therefore, they have some of the highest demands for refined products.<\/p>\n

What do imported RPPs cost?<\/h3>\n

The total cost of all imported RPPs was $16.8 billion in 2021, an increase of 50 per cent from 2020 when the cost was $11.2 billion. This increase is because of the higher volumes of RPPs imported and the higher global RPP prices in 2021, compared to 2020. The price of RPPs tends to relate closely to crude oil prices, as RPPs are made from crude oil.<\/p>\n
