one of the five largest energy producer countries in the world, along with China, the United States, as well as Saudi Arabia and Russia is Canada.Minerals and industry are the main force of the economy.
Oil Canada
Canada is a rising star in the ranking of world producers and exporters of oil for many years.All minerals, oil, gas and other make up the strength of the Canadian economy and its wealth.The recent increase in oil production in the country from the sands.By the way, not only these foods are rich in Canada.The minerals here you can find the most diverse: it is non-ferrous metals, iron ore, precious metals, coal, salt, and various other things that is real wealth of the country.
reserve of oil in Canada is about 180 billion barrels, owned by the state.Among all countries with oil reserves, Canada ranks third place.Extraction of the oil in Canada in general is the world's second place (Saudi Arabia holds the championship).However, not all that easy, because most of the black gold buried in the tar sands.These minerals Canada (oil in particular) being developed with the help of very expensive and environmentally hazardous environmental technology with low profitability.
Canadian oil sector
However, gradually increasing production and consumption of oil in the country.Minerals with the advent of new technologies has become much easier to produce and more profitable from an economic perspective.
oil sector companies have been strategic restructuring and consolidation, they are privatized.Sources of oil production in Canada are three pillars: resources found in the Western Sedimentary Basin, offshore mineral resources in the Atlantic Ocean and the oil sands, which are the leaders in this trio.
In the long term development of mining VT will play an important role Coastal eastern provinces of Canada.Mature oil fields in Newfoundland and Labrador - east shelf - promise in the future to bring to first oil production in the country.
Canada's oil exports
Owner huge reserves, Canada, minerals exports mainly to the United States.Almost 97 per cent of exports of liquid fuel to be sent each year.
Since the beginning of the new millennium, Canada was the largest exporter of oil to the United States, occupying a third of this market segment.In addition, Canada and came to the Chinese market.At the same time in 2010, China doubled the demand for imported oil.Currently, Canada is much more than in other countries supplying data resources to China and takes pride of place in the top ten most powerful oil exporters in the world.
pioneer operator of industrial-scale oil sands development plan was the company CNOOC.Large firms engaged in the extraction of black gold are the springboard for the development of new technologies.Chinese companies are investing large investments in exploration and development neftepeskov other spheres of energy.
Piping Systems Canada
production centers are connected by a pipeline system.Refineries and export centers in the eastern provinces are connected with the West and the US state's largest pipeline system in a network.In general, the association CTC (Canadian pipeline companies) transports oil to 3 million barrels every day.And from Western Canada to Montana exported two and a half million barrels of oil daily.
Only one pipeline network of crude oil supplies.Its route begins in the city of Edmonton, and then go through the resources and downstream points in Vancouver on the way to the final sequence of Illinois.The companies, which are the operators of the export pipeline network projects are constantly new modes of supply of resources.After the implementation of these plans to work further to increase the speed and volume of the transfer of oil from Alberta to the coast of Mexico.In addition to black gold, Canada has other minerals.
gas production in Canada
gas production country of the maple leaf is kept on the fifth place among the countries of the world.After Norway, Russia and Qatar, the fourth position on the export of the product takes Canada.Minerals mined in the Western Canada Basin and offshore the east coast, near the island of Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, and the Arctic.Extensive shale gas, methane, coal seams, tight gas reservoirs and other non-conventional gases were found in Canada.Despite this, they are still not widely developed, in contrast to the USA.Five sedimentary basins, rich deposits of this resource are in Canada.Three other potential shale pleya in the territory of Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.However, in these settlements exploration undergoes regulatory constraints.
According to the National Energy Authority of Canada, in the province of Alberta were produced two-thirds of Canadian gas, account for the remaining third of British Columbia.
Canadian gas exports
Like other minerals, oil and almost all of the gas in the United States, Canada sends.The bulk of the resource is exported through the pipeline.
