What happened
Canadian oil and gas producers are evolving their completion technologies to address high fuel costs and greenhouse gas emission regulations. This shift involves utilizing dual-fuel technologies, such as Cat® 3512E Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB) engines, which allow operators to substitute diesel consumption with natural gas.
