Canada oil sands operators to resume production in ‘coming days and weeks’

Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said she expects oil-sands companies that suspended output of crude oil by up to one million barrels a day due to wildfires that ravaged the Fort McMurray area to resume production “in the coming days and weeks,” The Wall Street Journal reports.

Ms. Notley made the comments after meeting with energy executives Tuesday and discussing the steps that need to be taken for production to be resumed, including ensuring that infrastructure such as pipelines and electricity is operational, and that there is housing and medical care for workers.
