| The supply and disposition of refined petroleum products in Canada
May 2005 Analysis – May 2005 Refinery production levels increased 5.3% compared to the same month a year earlier. The largest increases were seen in other products (+223.9 thousand cubic metres or +75.3%), diesel fuel oil (+192.1 thousand cubic metres or +9.4%) and in still gas (+168.5 cubic metres or +51.6%). Year-to-date production decreased 0.9% over the same period a year earlier. The total volume of crude oil and equivalents received by refineries amounted to 8 752.8 thousand cubic metres, an increase of 0.5% when compared to May 2004. This increase was due to higher receipts of domestic crude (+4.7%) but was offset by a decrease of imported crude receipts (-3.3%). Year-to-date refinery receipts totalled 44 510.8 thousand cubic metres, down 3.1% from the same period a year earlier. In May imports of crude and equivalents from Norway accounted for 35% of total imports, followed by Algeria at 18% and United Kingdom at 16%. Year-to-date imports are down 2.9%. Sales of refined petroleum products totalled 8 548.9 thousand cubic metres, up 1.5% from May 2004. The increase was largely due to higher demand for diesel fuel oil (+159.1 thousand cubic metres or +7.5%), aviation turbo fuel (kerosene type) (+57.2 thousand cubic metres or +10.7%) and in asphalt (+55.7 thousand cubic metres or +23.2%). Year to date sales for all refined products was down 0.3% from the same period in 2004. Chart 1
