(Reuters) - Canadian energy companies began assessing operationsafter Hurricane Earl made landfall in the Maritimes on Saturday before fizzlingout while U.S. energy operations were unscathed by the storm.

Earl had stayed mostly offshore and caused far less damage than feared onits path up the U.S. coast from North Carolina, before making landfall inCanada on Saturday.

The storm, downgraded successively from a fierce Category 4 hurricane,never packed the punch that had been feared earlier in the week, when expertswarned of possible widespread damage in a region that includes some 1.1 millionbarrels per day of U.S. oil refining capacity.
