May 8 (Reuters) - Canada's main oil-producing province
Alberta on Saturday declared a provincial state of emergency
after tens of thousands of Albertans were forced to evacuate
their homes due to wildfires.
    Following are the energy companies whose operations have
been impacted due to wildfires.
    
    Vermilion Energy Inc  VET.TO  
    Vermilion Energy said it had temporarily shut in about
30,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) of production
and that it was assessing the risk to its operations.
    "Our assessment to date indicates minimal damage to our key
infrastructure," Vermilion said.
        
  
        Paramount Resources Ltd  POU.TO  
    Paramount said its operations in the Grande Prairie and
Kaybob regions were impacted by the wildfires in those areas. 
    It added that about 50,000 boepd of production has been
temporarily curtailed since the evening of May 5.
    
    Kiwetinohk Energy Corp  KEC.TO 
        Kiwetinohk said it had safely shut in the majority of
its Placid operations in response to downstream third-party
interruptions that are in proximity to the Alberta wildfires.
