Supply and disposition of crude oil and equivalent — AI AnalysisStatistics Canada's Table 25100063 provides a comprehensive 10-year monthly record (2016–2025) of Canada's crude oil supply and disposition across 12 regions and 31 categories, encompassing 48,174 non-null records with values ranging from -12 million to 156.5 million cubic metres or barrels. Canada'Key Findings

Crude oil production grew 33.3% over the decade, rising from 18.7 million to 24.9 million cubic metres between January 2016 and December 2025, with exports closely mirroring this growth at +32.2% (16.4M to 21.7M cubic metres).

Imports declined only 0.4% over the same period (3.95M to 3.93M cubic metres), indicating that rising domestic production is channelled almost entirely into exports rather than substituting imports.

The dataset is strongly right-skewed, with a mean of approximately 8.5 million nearly 7 times the median of 1.2 million, driven by a small number of very high-volume categories pulling the average upward.

Values span an extreme range of 168.5 million units — from a minimum of -12 million to a maximum of 156.5 million — with a standard deviation of 20.8 million that exceeds double the mean, reflecting high cross-category variability.

A total of 1,206 records carry negative values, with 'Net Inventory Changes' accounting for 603 of them and recording the most extreme drawdown of -1,909,859 cubic metres in January 2023.
