Fire starts at CNR gas plant north in northern Alberta [Video]

Canada’s Tamarack Valley Energy TVE.TO has temporarily shut production of about 6,200 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) following a fire at a Canadian Natural Resources Ltd CNQ.TO gas plant in Alberta, the companies said on Monday.

The plant, which processes Tamarack’s gas from various batteries in the Nipisi area, was shut down after the fire broke out on Saturday.

Canadian Natural, the country’s biggest oil and gas producer, said it was alerted to the fire that had started inside its Mitsue Gas Plant at about 4.00 a.m. local time (1000 GMT).

“First responders and Canadian Natural’s personnel extinguished the fire safely and there were no injuries,” the company said in a statement.
