Thanks for your comments, I have just looked into this issue you mention about canada's exports being incorrent and it seems this is due to a discrepency between the BACI cleaned dataset we are using and the raw comtrade data (closer to what is reported by countries). I'm not sure if you're familiar with the issues and discrepencies that can arise when using export datasets but I would suggest giving this paper a read - http://www.cepii.fr/CEPII/fr/publications/wp/abstract.asp?NoDoc=2726, as this organization is the source of the data we are using.
Just to be sure the issue wasn't on our end I revisited the raw BACI data and found petroleum completely lacking from the top exports (as your mentioned) for 2012! In fact it is the 20th product, take a look below to see the top 20 exports by value:

We are looking to add the raw comtrade export data to the platform in the future, so hopefully this should resolve many of the data issues you and others have found.
