Canadian Oil Sands Company Restarts Operations as Wildfire Risk Lessens

(Reuters) – Canadian Natural Resources has restarted its Jackfish 1 oil sands site in northern Alberta after determining wildfires in the region are a safe distance away.

The company said its operations will ramp up over the next several days, targeting full production of approximately 36,500 bpd by June 6.

Canadian Natural evacuated non-essential workers from its Jackfish 1 location and shut-in production as a precaution on May 31, due to wildfires burning in the area.
