MEG Energy ramping up operations at Christina Lake after nearby wildfires

On June 11, 2025, MEG Energy Corp. announced that all staff had safely returned and activities had resumed at the Christina Lake facility in Alberta.
The restart followed an outage caused by wildfires south of the project, which forced disconnection from Alberta's electric grid and withdrawal of non-essential staff last month.
MEG successfully completed the Phase 2B turnaround and has started bringing back online the portion of its production that accounts for approximately 70 thousand barrels each day.
CEO Darlene Gates expressed sincere appreciation for the dedicated efforts of emergency personnel, provincial authorities, and the local power company throughout this challenging period.
The company continues monitoring Alberta’s wildfire situation and emphasizes employee safety while restoring production after disruptions from ongoing regional fires.
