In Alberta’s oil and gas sector, community impact has always gone hand-in-hand with operational excellence. Whether supporting local economies, driving innovation, or giving back to the communities where we work, the industry has a long-standing commitment to making a difference. This September, there’s another opportunity to do just that while enjoying a late summer day on the course with peers and partners! The 3rd Annual GDM Golf Charity Classic returns on September 2, 2026, at the [Read more]

In Western Canada’s oil and gas sector, joint ventures are a common operating model. Multiple partners share ownership of wells, facilities, and infrastructure, with one party responsible for operating the asset and allocating costs to the remaining partners. This partnership enables efficient development and risk sharing, but it also introduces a critical challenge: ensuring that joint venture accounting and cost allocations align with the contractual agreements. For non-operating [Read more]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]
