As the Pad Electrification era in the Canadian Energy Sector expands, so too are the sizes of mobile Natural Gas Turbines available for D and C Operations. As of this year, Evolution Power will be deploying a mobile 3.2MW Natural Gas Turbine (the equivalent to approximately 4300 HP of diesel power) for remote upstream operations. Historically, heavy-duty diesel reciprocating generators served as the standard choice for remote pad power due to their portability and rapid transient response. [Read more]

The Right Plunger Changes Everything. Here’s the Proof.
Plunger lift optimization isn't just about cycle times and arrival windows. At its core, it comes down to one fundamental decision: are you running the right plunger for your well? It sounds simple, but in practice, it's one of the most commonly overlooked sources of production loss and unnecessary cost in plunger lift operations. The wrong plunger affects everything downstream — off-time requirements, fluid fallback, cycle reliability, and ultimately how many MCF or barrels you're leaving [Read more]
45,000 Wells. One Big Opportunity. Why Alberta’s Next Production Gains May Already Be Drilled
For decades, Alberta's energy industry has excelled at finding and developing new reserves. Yet one of the province's largest opportunities may not involve drilling a single new well. Across Alberta, an estimated 45,000 shallow gas wells remain in various stages of maturity, decline, or underperformance. Many continue to produce, but often at rates well below their true reservoir potential. Others have been written off as uneconomic despite still containing recoverable reserves. The [Read more]
From AI Pilot to Production in Weeks: Join the Conversation
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. For junior producers pushing development into areas where grid infrastructure hasn't caught up, the challenge of powering a new multi-well oil battery can be as complex as the drilling program itself. That's a reality one Central Alberta junior producer recently navigated, and the solution they found is a model worth paying attention to. A Common Problem, Often Underestimated The project involved the [Read more]
The Window of Dissatisfaction: The Most Overlooked Opportunity in Energy Sales
Most energy service companies assume they lose business to competitors. In reality, they often lose business to something else first: dissatisfaction. Think about the last time a producer changed vendors, brought in a new contractor, or started evaluating alternative service providers. Chances are, they weren't actively shopping for a replacement six months earlier. Then something changed. A project ran behind schedule. Communication became inconsistent. Costs increased without an [Read more]
Alberta Startup Targets Frac Water Storage Gap with 30,000 m³ Modular System
Freshet Systems has introduced the Freshet Tank, an innovative 30,000 m³ modular above ground water storage system designed for the scale, agility, and flexibility required in current hydraulic fracturing operations. Frac water logistics have changed dramatically over the past decade. Supply flowrates have increased threefold, and total water demand per development program has more than doubled in some assets. Yet much of the temporary water storage infrastructure used across the industry [Read more]
Engineering Under Pressure
How projects move forward when timelines compress and conditions change In today’s energy and infrastructure environment, pressure is no longer the exception, it’s the baseline. Across North America, a new wave of investment is accelerating project timelines. Industry estimates suggest more than $1 trillion in new pipeline infrastructure will be required in the coming decades, driven by rising energy demand, LNG exports, and electrification. At the same time, a surge in LNG and export [Read more]
See How AI Is Moving Into Oil and Gas Operations
AI adoption in oil and gas is shifting from experimentation to execution. Canadian operators are increasingly focused on how intelligence supports daily operational decisions across assets and crews. From maintenance scheduling to equipment performance, AI is being embedded into workflows that influence uptime, cost, and reliability under real operating conditions. Join IFS for a lunch discussion with industry peers, exploring how energy organizations are applying AI at scale. Registration [Read more]
