Canadian oil industry

Canada's oil industry primarily revolves around extracting and producing crude oil, mainly from the vast oil sands in Alberta. The industry includes exploration, drilling, refining, and exporting oil to global markets, supporting Canada's economy and energy needs. It employs thousands of workers and is a significant source of government revenue. Environmental concerns, such as greenhouse gas emissions and land disruption, are important considerations. Canada also exports large amounts of oil to the United States and other countries, making it a key player in global energy markets. The industry balances economic benefits with sustainability and environmental responsibilities.
