Cenovus Energy Inc., Calgary, has restarted about 62,000 boe/d of production, from the 85,000 boe/d impacted in May due to wildfires in the Alberta area.
Assuming the current wildfire conditions continue, Rainbow Lake operations are expected to return to production within 7-10 days, which represents about 20,000 boe/d. About 3,000 boe/d remains offline awaiting power infrastructure to be rebuilt in various remote locations, the company said in an update June 5.
As staff have been able to access sites, to date no significant damage has been identified, the company continued. Other assets, including the company’s oil sands operations and Lloydminster complex, have not been impacted.
