Deliveries of crude oil and equivalent hydrocarbons to the export market increased by 1.5% in September compared with the same month in 2007. In September 2008, 71% of Canada's total production went to the export market.
Domestic sales of natural gas fell 3.8% in September from the same month in 2007. This decrease was the result of lower sales to the residential and industrial sectors.
