CALGARY, Alberta, May 4 (Reuters) - The Syncrude oil sands
project in northern Alberta has reduced operations to help
support employees who have been forced to evacuate the nearby
city of Fort McMurray because of a massive wildfire, a company
spokesman said on Wednesday.
Syncrude, majority owned by Suncor Energy Inc SU.TO has
around 2,000 evacuees from Fort McMurray staying at its camp. It
is the fourth oil sands company to cut production because of the
fire, joining Suncor Shell Canada RDSa.L and Connacher Oil and
Gas CLC.TO .
