“The flooding events in Calgary and surrounding communities are certainly unprecedented in Alberta and have caused significant disruption to families and our city. First, our deepest sympathies go out to all those whose homes have been impacted by the flooding.” commented Steve Laut, President.

He continued “Our field operations remain stable and operational with very minor impact. Our safety and pipeline control systems remained intact and operational throughout the crisis. While our corporate head offices were undamaged we have been utilizing “work from home” for most business functions in order to accommodate the City of Calgary’s requests to minimize people in the core during initial clean up, safety inspections and the energization of electrical substations. Finally, Canadian Natural will be contributing USD1,000,000 to the Calgary and area disaster relief efforts.”

Canadian Natural is a senior oil and natural gas production company, with continuing operations in its core areas located in Western Canada, the U.K. portion of the North Sea and Offshore Africa.
