Note to readers The Monthly Refined Petroleum Products survey collects data on the activities of every Canadian refinery involved in the production of refined petroleum products (North American Industry Classification System [NAICS] 324000) and of selected major distributors of these products (NAICS 412000). Domestic sales include all sales by reporting companies, excluding exports and sales to other reporting companies. Refinery receipts of crude oil and equivalent hydrocarbons (condensates and pentanes plus) from domestic and foreign sources are for refinery consumption or storage. Available in CANSIM: tables 134-0001 to 134-0004. Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 2150.
