DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURECARBON CAPTURE
New West Data Corp. is converting stranded oil and gas wells in Alberta into power sources for bitcoin mining, installing natural-gas-fired generators at uneconomic sites. This initiative not only produces 300 barrels of oil per day but also addresses the province's orphan well issue, with the potential to generate significant off-grid electricity. Supported by the Alberta government, the company aims to expand its operations to include high-performance computing and AI data centers.
