CALGARY — Oil and gas producers in Alberta are temporarily shutting in production as wildfires rage across the energy\u002Dproducing province.

Tourmaline Oil Corp., Canada’s largest natural gas producer, said Monday that members of its staff and their families have been pulled out from certain facilities and homes in the Edson area. Tourmaline has shut down nine gas processing facilities in the region.

The Trans Mountain pipeline itself, and the expansion project under construction, have not been affected.Article content That event resulted in a temporary 14 per cent decline of crude oil exports from Alberta as oilsands facilities had to be taken off-line and were not fully restored for several months.

Johnston added that he believes that wildfire is becoming a significant risk to the Canadian oil and gas sector. Baytex Energy Corp. says it has curtailed about 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day due to the shut-in of third-party infrastructure.
