Suncor's RMWB Production Returns to Pre-Fire Output
Print
|
Suncor is ramping up production in a staged manner and expects that all of its operations in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (RMWB) will be producing at normal, pre-turnaround rates by the end of June.
Suncor expects base plant operations to return to pre-fire production rates within a week. A return to normal production levels at Suncor’s in situ facilities and the completion of the planned turnaround maintenance on the U2 upgrading complex is expected in the third week of June.
There has been no damage to Suncor’s assets as a result of the fires and enhanced fire mitigation work has been conducted at all sites to reduce any future potential threat. Suncor continues to work closely with the province, region and industry to monitor and manage the fire risk.
