<strong>Canada</strong> has a privatized oil sector<br />

that has witnessed consolidation<br />

in recent years. Large oil producers<br />

in the country include Imperial<br />

Oil, EnCana, Talisman Energy,<br />

Suncor, EOG Resources,<br />

Husky Energy, and Apache <strong>Canada</strong>.<br />

Much of the regulation of<br />

the oil industry occurs at the provincial<br />

level. In 2009, Suncor and<br />

Petro-<strong>Canada</strong> announced that<br />

they would merge, creating the<br />

largest oil producer in the country,<br />

as well as one of the largest<br />

producers of natural gas.<br />

Current oil sands projects are economically<br />

feasible at crude oil<br />

prices of $18-$20 a barrel, though<br />

the quality of oil produced can<br />

differ according to whether production<br />

comes from reserves that<br />

require drilling assisted by steaminjection<br />

pressure or from simple<br />

mining.<br />
