Pipestone Energy curtails previously restored production on wildfire resurgence

Pipestone Energy Corp., Calgary, has curtailed production previously restored due to ongoing wildfire activity in the Alberta region.

Due to precautionary shut-in of certain third-party infrastructure and associated operated production locations, Pipestone has curtailed about 20,000 boe/d from Grande Prairie area assets since the evening of May 12, the company said in a release May 15.

From May 8 to May 12, Pipestone had restarted the majority of its producing assets until the resurgence of wildfires in proximity to certain third-party processing infrastructure, it said.

The company said it is not aware of any significant damage or loss to either its owned or third-party infrastructure and that it is ready to resume production as soon as the currently shut down third party infrastructure is restarted.
