TORONTO, May 7 (Reuters) - The Syncrude oil sands project
will shut down its northern Alberta mines and upgrader
operations and remove all personnel from the site, it said on
Saturday, becoming the latest energy company to halt operations
due to a massive Canadian wildfire.
Syncrude, majority-owned by Suncor Energy Inc SU.TO , said
there was no imminent threat from the fire, but that smoke had
reached its Mildred Lake site.
