“In the face of growing environmental and safety issues, today’s oil and gas producers are tasked with finding cost-effective ways to manage risk. Additionally, as drilling moves to harsher and more remote locations, the need for remote well control and data acquisition continues to increase,” says Andrew Boldt of PCS.
