In 2019, Canada became the largest exporter of oil to the United States, a position it has maintained in recent years. Canada’s proximity, stable political relationship, and vast oil sands reserves in Alberta make it a key supplier for U.S. refineries, particularly those located along the U.S.-Canada border. Canadian oil is typically delivered via pipelines, with the majority of the crude coming from oil sands production. Despite fluctuations in global oil markets, Canada’s oil exports to the U.S. remain crucial for meeting the country’s energy demands and reducing reliance on oil imports from more distant regions.
