Despite this, Canadian crude oil volumes exported by rail declined by about 13%, averaging 77.2 thousand barrels per day (Mb/d) in 2025, which is the lowest since 2012. Crude oil is increasingly being exported by pipeline or marine instead of rail, after additional pipeline capacity and dock loading capacity were brought online in recent years.
