In this video, you will see Canadian workers on real oil and gas worksites. They are drilling wells on equipment called a drilling rig. Rigs operate 24 hours a day, often in extreme weather conditions and remote locations. Canadian drilling rigs – and workers - meet some of the highest regulatory and safety standards in the world. The technologies behind rig equipment and drilling techniques are continuously improving to become more efficient and safer for workers and the environment. Today, Canada has a fleet of just over 600 rigs, which include both automated and conventional drilling rigs.
