Saudi Arabia produces over 4 gigabarrels (600 million tons) of oil per year (17 tons per second), claiming a quarter of the world’s proven oil reserves.

Alberta contains nearly all of Canada’s oil sands and about 75% of its conventional oil reserves, Canada being placed second only to Saudi Arabia.

Hovewer, Canada is the United States’ largest supplier, not Saudi Arabia; over 99% of canadian oil exports are sent to the United States.
