Domestic production of crude oil and equivalent hydrocarbons totalled 13.5 million cubic metres in January, an increase of 2.7% over January 2008.
Deliveries of crude oil and equivalent hydrocarbons to the export market rose 0.6% in January compared with the same month in 2008. In January 2009, 66.3% of Canada's total production went to the export market.
Marketable natural gas production totalled 14.6 billion cubic metres in January, down 1.2% compared with January 2008.
Natural gas exports accounted for 66.0% of marketable natural gas production in January 2009.
Domestic sales of natural gas fell 3.5% in January from the same month in 2008. This decrease was the result of lower sales to the industrial sector.
