Canada reigns as the United States' leading oil supplier, exporting some 707,316,000 barrels of oil per year (1,938,000 barrels per day) — a whopping 99 percent of its annual oil exports, according to the EIA.

CALGARY Oct 30 (Reuters) - TransCanada Corp (#HYPERLINK "http://uk.reuters.com/business/quotes/overview?symbol=TRP.TO"TRP.TO) said on Tuesday it would boost the size of its planned Keystone oil pipeline from Alberta to the U.S. Midwest by more than a third to 590,000 barrels a day and nearly doubled its cost estimate for the line to $5.2 billion.
The new estimate means higher costs for the U.S. refiners buying the Canadian oil shipped on the line, but the company maintains the costs still won't be out of line with competing projects.
