Forest fire update
Tourmaline experienced evacuations and production disruptions during the month of May in both Alberta and northeast British Columbia. The company is pleased to report that there were no injuries to staff related to the fires, no damage to producing infrastructure and that production has resumed at all but one of the affected facilities. The Laprise Creek plant in northeast B.C., with net production of approximately 11,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, is currently in an evacuation zone and remains shut in. The company is expecting to re-establish access during the next week. Tourmaline estimates that the overall net impact to Q2 2023 production from the wildfire events is in the 1.5-per-cent-to-2.0-per-cent range.
