Alta. oilpatch once again shuts in some production as wildfires rage

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:56:06 GMT

CALGARY — Some oil and gas companies in Alberta are once again shutting in production as hot and dry conditions exacerbate the wildfire situation in the energy-producing province.Last week some companies in the affected areas were able to restart operations as cooler temperatures and rainfall brought relief in some areas of the province. But the situation this week has worsened due to shifting winds and hotter temperatures.Crescent Point Energy Corp. says it has once again shut in its entire 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day of production in the Kaybob Duvernay area, after previously reactivating a portion of this production last week.The company says no damage to its assets has been reported.There are currently 87 active wildfires in Alberta, 24 of which are out of control.This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 16, 2023.Companies in this story: (TSX:CPG)The Canadian Press

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:56:06 GMT

The founder of the Toronto Marathon is apologizing to the event’s participants and supporters for the challenges they faced during the race earlier this month.Jay Glassman says event organizers received complaints about inadequate road closures and water stations and about “pandemonium” at the finish line that made it difficult for some participants to collect their medals or food and beverages.Glassman says barriers were knocked down and pushed aside, and some people walked out with cases of water and food, which reduced what was available for other participants.He says race organizers are still investigating what happened during the May 7 event by collecting more information and reviewing finish-area videos.Glassman says the event team sincerely apologizes to those who experienced challenges and will create a plan to avoid such issues, including installing more barriers and additional security.The Toronto Marathon is an annual event held on the first Sunday of Ma...

Vikings finalize Za’Darius Smith trade, sign pair of Minnesota natives

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 07:56:06 GMT

Za’Darius Smith is officially no longer a member of the Vikings. The 30-year-old edge rusher passed a physical and the Vikings were able to finalize a trade that has been a long time coming.The announcement came via social media on Tuesday morning with the Vikings sending Smith to the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick in 2024 and a fifth-round pick in 2025. In addition, the Vikings also parted ways with a sixth-round pick in 2025 and a seventh-round pick in 2025.This move will save the Vikings a good amount of money as Smith was set to make a $9.45 million base salary this season while carrying a $15.5 million cap hit. He reportedly has agreed to a restructured deal and it sounds like the Vikings will be picking up some of the money to help facilitate the transaction.As impressive as Smith was at times last season, his productivity plummeted late in the season as he battled through a host of injuries. He had 9 1/2 sacks from Week 1 to Week 10 last seaso...
