Oilsands production returning post-wildfire

摘要

At the height of the wildfire risk in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo this May, 12 oiisands projects totalling almost 1.5 million bbls/d were taken offline as communities, including the city of Fort McMurray, were evacuated. The fire burned for close to two months, declared "under control" by the Government of Alberta on July 4. The Insurance Bureau of Canada estimates the Fort McMurray insured property damage at $3.58 billion-more than twice the amount of the 2013 flood in southern Alberta, the previous costliest disaster.
