As operational complexity increases, Canadian oil and gas companies are turning to AI to support faster, more informed decisions in the field and across asset networks. The emphasis is on practical application - using AI to reduce unplanned downtime, improve execution consistency, and support frontline teams where work actually happens. Join IFS and industry leaders in Calgary for a focused lunch discussion on how AI is being applied in operational environments today. Seats are filling [Read more]
When the Grid Ends, the Job Doesn’t Have To: How Alberta producers are solving the off-grid power problem without slowing down development.
In Alberta's oil patch, remote doesn't mean impossible, but it does mean creative.
