Welcome to the Canadian Well Site Automation 2020 Exhibition and Conference where shale operators and service companies will meet with automation experts and key technology providers in Calgary to explore efficient and cost effective well site solutions. The face of well site operations is fast changing as operators navigate through the ‘digital oilfield age’ and introduce new technologies across well sites and embrace the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT). As operators adjust to a lower oil price market, new initiatives towards more efficient and cost effective operations have become essential in order to remain profitable in a low-margin business. While automation has reduced OpEx and CapEx costs and helped producers to survive in a low-price market, operators are now challenged with the growing risks associated with complexities of the digital oilfield.
