Remote Oilfield Camps
Remote oilfield camps are vital for supporting the oil and gas industry, especially in Alberta, where many operations are located in remote and challenging regions, such as the oil sands of northern Alberta. These camps provide essential accommodation, meals, and other services to workers involved in oil exploration, drilling, and extraction activities.
