Production Refining In 2015, Alberta produced about 2.5 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude bitumen from three oil sands regions - Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River, with surface mining accounting for 46% and in-situ for 54% of the production. In 2015, about 45%, or 1.1 million bbl/d of crude bitumen production, was sent for upgrading in Alberta. Upgrading Refinery Row is the unofficial name given to the concentration of oil refineries in west Sherwood Park, Strathcona County, Alberta, just east of the city of Edmonton. The area is roughly bounded on the south by the Sherwood Park Freeway (Highway 100), on the north by the North Saskatchewan River and Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16), on the east by Anthony Henday Drive (Highway 216), and on the west by 50 Street . Imperial's Strathcona refinery, located on the outskirts of Edmonton, Alberta is one of the largest refining facilities in Canada. Built in 1976 on the site of Imperial's original 1940s refinery, the best-in-class Strathcona refinery meets the demand for quality petroleum products. Alberta is Canada's leading oil refining and petrochemical manufacturer, shipping significant supplies to North American and international markets. Alberta is Canada’s largest refining and petrochemical cluster, characterized by modern, world-scale plants with access to abundant resource feedstock and efficient transportation systems able to deliver supply to consumers.

The only refinery to be built in Alberta in the past 30 years was the North West Sturgeon Upgrader, north of Edmonton, which was constructed with help from the Alberta government. Production Refining In 2015, Alberta produced about 2.5 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude bitumen from three oil sands regions - Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River, with surface mining accounting for 46% and in-situ for 54% of the production. In 2015, about 45%, or 1.1 million bbl/d of crude bitumen production, was sent for upgrading in Alberta. Upgrading Oil refineries. There are four oil refineries in Alberta with a combined capacity of over 458,200 barrels per day (72,850 m 3 /d) of crude oil. Most of these are located on what is known as Refinery Row in Strathcona County near Edmonton, Alberta, which supplies products to most of Western Canada. In addition to refined products such as gasoline and diesel fuel, the refineries and upgraders also produce off-gases, which are used as feedstock by nearby petrochemical plants. This is a list of oil refineries.The Oil & Gas Journal also publishes a worldwide list of refineries annually in a country-by-country tabulation that includes for each refinery: location, crude oil daily processing capacity, and the size of each process unit in the refinery. For some countries, the refinery list is further categorized state-by-state

Production. • In 2015, Alberta produced about 2.5 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude bitumen from three oil sands regions - Athabasca, Cold Lake and  In 2017, Alberta produced about 2.8 million barrels per day (bbl/d) of crude bitumen from three oil sands regions - Athabasca, Cold Lake and Peace River,. Refineries in Alberta and B.C. process more oil sands crude, synthetic and bitumen, than other refineries in Canada. (Figure 12) B.C. refineries source crude oil
