OIL SANDS
Suncor Energy has shut down its 215 000 barrel-per-day Firebag oil sands site in northern Alberta and curtailed some production as a precaution due to a wildfire about 8 km away, according to the company and an Alberta government minister. Suncor, Canada's second-largest oil producer, said the facility will be kept ready to resume full operations as soon as possible once it is safe to do so.
