Suncor Halts Firebag Oilsands Production Due to Nearby Wildfire

The wildfire, now out of control, poses significant risks to infrastructure in northern Alberta, prompting precautionary measures.

Suncor's Firebag site, producing 215,000 barrels per day, has been shut down to ensure worker safety.
The wildfire is approximately eight kilometers northeast of the Firebag site and has grown to 2,119 hectares.
Firefighters are actively working to control the blaze, with additional resources being deployed.
The shutdown has led to a rise in Canadian crude oil prices, narrowing the discount to the U.S. benchmark.
Other nearby oil facilities, including Imperial Oil's Kearl site, remain operational but are on high alert.
