Alberta Talks Energy Partnership at U.S. Industry Forum

September 9, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--While the Canadian government looks for trade options outside of North America, the premier of Alberta told delegates at a Colorado forum that her oil-rich province was interested in partnerships. Much of the U.S. refinery sector is tailored to run the more viscous types of oil found in Canada rather than the light, sweet crude found in domestic shale basins. As such, Canada accounts for about 60% of the foreign crude oil sent to the U.S. market, or around 4 million barrels per day (BBL/d).
