Statistics Canada Energy Statistics

Statistics Canada Energy Statistics is the Integrated Oil & Gas catalog's national-accounting record: the federal statistical office's entire energy subject area, restructured into rows a warehouse can join. Four sub-topics organize the material - Electricity and renewable energy, Energy supply and use, Fossil fuels and Pipelines - and the subject area fronts headline indicators worth memorizing: 25.8 million cubic metres of crude oil and equivalent production for May 2026, a +9.0% twelve-month change, beside 708.8 million gigajoules of marketable natural gas.

The upstream centrepiece is the supply-and-disposition-of-crude-oil-and-equivalent table, cube 25-10-0063-01, successor to the CANSIM 126-0003 series analysts traded for decades. Three dimensions span the whole Canadian crude balance: twelve geography members, thirty-five commodity flows, two units of measure. One month of that cube runs to roughly six hundred cells, and each sits inside a wider shelf of related energy tables covering electricity generation through pipeline throughput.

Official provenance, provincial resolution and a monthly rhythm in one consistent schema is the combination nobody else offers for Canada - which is why this record scores 8/10 in Datadory's rubric against a catalog mean of 7.81. Get a sample of this dataset and inspect the provinces and flows you actually model.

Dimension triplets first - the identifying half of every row, exactly as a verified pull returned them:

Geography              : Alberta
Supply and disposition : In-Situ crude bitumen production
Units of measure       : Cubic metres

Geography              : Canada
Supply and disposition : Crude oil production
Units of measure       : Barrels

Geography              : Saskatchewan
Supply and disposition : Exports
Units of measure       : Cubic metres

Read together they show why the schema earns its keep. The first row names Alberta's in-situ bitumen stream - the oil sands measured where they are produced rather than blended into an aggregate. The second takes the national production line in barrels, the unit dimension doing visible work. The third isolates Saskatchewan's exports outright.

Every triplet carries a value cell and a monthly reference period; the published May 2026 national reading was 25.8 million cubic metres of crude oil and equivalent, up 9.0% on the year. Because geography, flow and unit sit in explicit columns instead of being parsed out of labels, pivots come out right the first time and joins against your own asset master hold up.

Five fields define every observation, each definition checked against the cube's own metadata during the August 2026 research pass and carried at verified confidence. Three are dimensions - Geography, Supply and disposition, Units of measure - and stack into the natural key; REF_DATE stamps the monthly reference period; VALUE holds the reported quantity.

The thirty-five flow members are where the analytical wealth sits: crude oil production split heavy versus light/medium, net field production, non-upgraded bitumen, in-situ and mined bitumen tracked separately, synthetic crude, condensate and pentanes plus, imports, inputs to refineries, exports to the United States by pipeline and by other modes, and opening and closing inventories at fields, transporters and refineries. Production-mix shifts, export-mode splits and inventory cycles all fall out of one column's membership list.

Companion cubes - marketable natural gas, electricity and renewables, pipelines - carry their own member lists and unit sets, so they fold under additional fields on request rather than being promised blind.

Geography - twelve members: Canada as a whole, regional aggregates including the Atlantic provinces, then Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories individually. Alberta and Saskatchewan resolve as their own rows, which is the difference between modeling the oil sands and squinting at a national average.

Temporal - monthly reference periods, with selectors reaching back roughly a decade and historical CANSIM predecessors extending select series further. Reference months land behind real time by the width of a compilation cycle, so plan backfill windows accordingly; the newest headline readings observed during research ran to May 2026.

Granularity - province-or-territory by commodity-flow by month, with every figure carried in twin unit variants, cubic metres and barrels. Roughly six hundred cells a month for the crude cube alone, and dozens of related energy tables beside it.

Against the wider catalog - 1,744 datasets averaging 7.81 - this slice scores 8/10, lifted by verified field documentation and clean provincial resolution.

API, files, or your warehouse. Daily, weekly, or hourly.

Your cadence is yours to set regardless of the monthly rhythm of the underlying series - a weekly load keeps provincial balance dashboards current between reference months, and nobody babysits the plumbing. Every delivery ships the full field dictionary above, sample rows for validation, and the coverage profile mapped to the provinces, flows and units you named.

• Provincial crude-balance modeling - production, imports, refinery inputs, exports and inventories assembled into one monthly balance per jurisdiction, ready for downstream models without stitching spreadsheets.
• Oil sands composition tracking - in-situ versus mined bitumen, synthetic crude, condensate and pentanes plus as separate series, so diluent demand and upgrading capacity debates get grounded in numbers.
• Export-flow monitoring - shipments to the United States split by pipeline versus other modes, the split egress-capacity arguments turn on.
• Inventory-cycle analysis - opening and closing stocks at fields, transporters and refineries, the storage curve traders and midstream planners watch.
• Market sizing and due diligence - official province-by-commodity-flow figures cited to a national statistical office, with a persistent DOI behind every table for the appendix.

Within integrated oil and gas data, this record owns sub-national Canadian completeness: twelve geographies, thirty-five commodity flows, inventories included, one monthly schema. The neighbours own different jobs. The Alberta Energy Regulator's Statistical Reports go deeper on one province - reserves and well-level texture - but stop at the border. The EIA International Energy Statistics span 200-plus countries yet flatten to national totals. The JODI Oil & Gas World Database compiles country-reported flows across dozens of economies with no provincial layer anywhere. Eurostat Energy Statistics is the European structural counterpart. None of them publish provincial Canadian supply-and-disposition, the US-bound pipeline-versus-other-modes split, or field-versus-refinery inventory positions.

Three things, stated up front.

First, this is a monthly accounting cube, not a tick stream. Reference months run behind real time by the length of a compilation cycle, and revisions land as figures firm up - treat the newest month as provisional in any model that trades on it.

Second, the verified dictionary covers the five fields above. Companion cubes for natural gas, electricity and pipelines carry their own member lists and are pinned against live records when we cut your sample - name the ones you want and they arrive in the same shape rather than as a surprise.

Third, units are a column, not a conversion chore. Every figure exists in cubic metres and barrels, so pick one canonical unit for your warehouse and the dual reporting your US-facing stakeholders ask for comes free of arithmetic. Tell us the provinces, flows and period range you care about and the sample comes back shaped to them.
