Canadian Natural Resources Ltd has evacuated its Pelican Lake and Woodenhouse operations in northern Alberta in the first major shut-in of oil production triggered by wildfires this year. The producer removed all 240 people working in the two sites, halting a combined 65,000 barrels a day of heavy crude, according to a statement. Three years ago, blazes razed entire neighborhoods in the oil-sands town of Fort McMurray and disrupted nearby operations. This year, wildfires in northern Alberta had so far spared production facilities.
