Immigration Minister Dept: The facility has been idle since an explosion and fire on Jan. 6 that injured five people. Because of its process, it is unable to produce saleable non-upgraded bitumen from its oilsands mine, according to Calgary Herald. "To be clear, our investigation is far from over. Work will continue well after our on-site investigation is complete and a stop-work order at the Horizon oilsands upgrader north of Fort McMurray has been lifted, allowing owner Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. of Calgary to enter the facility and assess damage. "This move allows CNRL officials to access and de-ice the area, and assess the damage while our Occupational Health and Safety officers continue with their investigation," Thomas Lukaszuk, Alberta employment and immigration minister, said in a statement.
