CALGARY, Alberta, May 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (PIPE – TSX) Pipestone Energy Corp. (“Pipestone” or the “Company”) advises that its operations in the Grande Prairie area are again being impacted by the ongoing wildfires.

As a result of the precautionary shut-in of certain third-party infrastructure and associated operated producing locations, approximately 20,000 boe/d of production has been temporarily curtailed since the evening of May 12, 2023.
