Occupational Health and Safety has cleared the scene of a fire at Syncrude that injured two workers.
It says the workers were sprayed with bitumen after opening a valve, causing minor burns.
They were conducting a routine valve test and the bitumen didn’t catch fire until after they had left the scene.
Coker 8-1 remains shut down, and the Calgary Herald reports that production is down 100,000 barrels per day as a result.
That unit had been down for maintenance in February.
There’s still no word as to when the unit will be restarted.
