A drilling rig operates on a wellsite on an oil company lease near Grande Prairie, part of the northern Alberta resource extraction energy industry
A drilling rig trips out of the well on a wellsite in northern Alberta near Grande Prairie. The telescopic double is drilling a directional well in search of natural gas deposits for extraction purposes. Rigging activity has slowed in recent years as the economy and oil prices have slumped, and markets look for more efficient energy sources. The oil and gas industry will be a part of the Albertan culture and economy for a long time to come.
