The Hibernia oil field is located 315 km from the east from Newfoundland in 80 m of water. The Hibernia platform is the world's largest oil platform by weight and size. The oil field was discovered in 1979 but production only began in 2007. The total oil field production is an estimated 704 million barrels as of 2010.
The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is Canada's third largest oil producer with 27,373 cubic metres per day (172,000 bbl/d) of light crude oil from its Grand Banks offshore oil fields in 2015, about 4.4% of Canada's petroleum. See the Newfoundland and Labrador section above for details.
Saskatchewan and offshore areas of Newfoundland in particular have substantial oil production and reserves. [3] Alberta has 39% of Canada's remaining conventional oil reserves, offshore Newfoundland 28% and Saskatchewan 27%, but if oil sands are included, Alberta's share is over 98%. [4]
The Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board listed the total oil field production at 210 thousand barrels a day and 704 million barrels (111.9 × 10 ^ 6 m 3) as of August 2010. [10] The same update listed the Proven and Probable estimated reserves as being 1,395 million barrels (221.8 × 10 ^ 6 m 3) of oil.

As of 2023, Canada's oil sands industry, along with Western Canada and offshore petroleum facilities near Newfoundland and Labrador, continued to increase production and were projected to increase by an estimated 10% in 2024 representing a potential record high at the end of the year of approximately 5.3 million barrels per day (bpd).

In this way, Canada's proven reserves increased suddenly in 2003 when the oil sands of Alberta were seen to be economically viable. Similarly, Venezuela 's proven reserves jumped in the late 2000s when the heavy oil of the Orinoco Belt was judged economic.
Discovered in 1984, the White Rose offshore oil field is located in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin 350 kilometres east of St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The field consists of both oil and gas pools, including the South White Rose oil pool. The oil pool covers approximately 40 square kilometres (15 sq mi) and contains an estimated 440 ...
