| Publisher Description: North America is experiencing a boom in crude oil supply, primarily due to the growth of heavy crude production in the Canadian oil sands1 and the recent expansion of shale oil production in North Dakota, Montana, and Texas. North American production now supplies 66% of U.S. crude oil demand, displacing crude from Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East. |
