据道琼斯艾伯塔省卡尔加里5月23日消息,加拿大艾伯塔省北部的两个油砂生产基地和附近的五个工作营地的强制疏散命令已被解除,因为消防队员在该地区的灭火工作继续取得进展。
周五晚间这一强制疏散命令的解除使得森科能源公司及其Syncrude子公司的两个主要油砂工厂重新开工。由于受到这场森林大火的威胁,这两个工厂已关闭超过两周。
森科能源的发言人称,该公司正在制定工厂分阶段重新开工的时间表。

Evacuation Order Lifted for Some Canadian Oil Sites
CALGARY, Alberta;A mandatory evacuation order has been lifted at two Northern Alberta oil-sands production sites and five nearby work camps, as firefighters continue to make gains in combating raging wildfires in the region.
The lifting of the order late on Friday allows Suncor Energy Inc., and its Syncrude subsidiary to reopen two major oil-sands production complexes that have been shut down for more than two weeks because of the threat from forest fires.
A spokesman for Suncor said the company is preparing a schedule for a staged restarting of the plants.
