Saskatchewan is the second largest oil producer in Canada and the sixth largest in North America. In 2015, the province produced 486,000 barrels of oil per day and shipped about 65% of that production to the United States.
The province has estimated oil reserves of almost 1.2 billion barrels, refining and upgrading capacity, and an extensive network of pipelines. Saskatchewan is home to a significant portion of the Bakken Formation, one of the largest conventional oil plays in North America.
