Wildfires in Alberta Pose Growing Threat to Canada's Oil Output
Wildfires are threatening about 4% of Canada's crude output as a blaze in Alberta's oil sands region spreads and approaches major production sites.
A total of 25 out-of-control fires are burning in the province amid hot, dry weather, with flames now within 20 kilometers (12 miles) of about 200,000 barrels of daily oil production, according to data from Alberta's energy regulator and wildfire department. The province had only four out-of-control fires on Monday.
