US EditionCooler Weekend Weather Aids Firefighting Efforts Across Northern, Central Alberta
- On May 31, 2025, MEG Energy Corp. Reported that wildfires near its Christina Lake project in Alberta forced precautionary evacuation of non-essential staff while maintaining critical operations onsite.
- These actions followed wildfires causing a power line outage that disconnected MEG from Alberta's grid and delayed the startup of its Phase 2B expansion producing about 70,000 barrels per day.
- MEG's CEO Darlene Gates emphasized that safety remains a top priority with no immediate risk to people or assets, and the company is working closely with authorities and industry peers to resume normal operations.

- The ongoing fires threaten Alberta’s oil production, which could tighten North American supply amid the summer driving season and may force U.S. Refiners to seek costlier alternatives if disruptions worsen.
