Tens of thousands of people have been ordered to leave their homes as more than 100 wildfires burn across Alberta

CALGARY — Some oil and gas producers in Alberta are temporarily shutting in production as wildfires rage across the energy-producing province.

Crescent Point Energy Corp. which has significant operations in the Kaybob Duvernay light oil play, said Monday it has temporarily shut in production of approximately 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the affected areas. Tourmaline Oil Corp., Canada's largest natural gas producer, said Monday that members of its staff and their families have been safely evacuated from certain operated facilities and homes in the Edson area. Tourmaline has shut down nine gas processing facilities in the region.

Other companies that have shut in production include Pipestone Energy Corp., which has temporarily curtailed approximately 20,000 barrels per day of production in the Grande Prairie area, and Kiwetinohk Energy, which has shut-in the majority of its Placid operations "in response to downstream third party interruptions" that are in proximity to the Alberta wildfires.
