Canadian oil discoveries and British fuel choices

Could earlier discovery of the Leduc and related Canadian oil fields have moved Britain toward oil-fired ships sooner?

Potentially, because a large secure Canadian source would ease one of the strategic supply constraints behind naval fuel choices.

An earlier large Canadian oil supply could plausibly accelerate Britain's adoption of oil firing. Propulsion changes depended on confidence in the scale and security of the fuel source as well as the machinery itself.
