Canada is the fourth largest producer of crude oil and the fifth largest source of natural gas globally. Most production occurs in western Canada, which has struggled with inadequate pipeline capacity, leading to government intervention and growing exports by rail.

What do we know about GHG emission from upstream production? What does this trend mean for future of oil and gas investing?
