An orphan well is just an energy asset that lost its traditional economic lifeline. When we bring off-grid compute directly to the wellhead, we change the math. Turning stranded gas into energized compute creates a new revenue stream that can fund responsible well decommissioning. Innovation is the best way to protect the public ledger.

Check out this thread - we're incredibly proud to be leading the way at the intersection of energy production and digital infrastructure!

1/2: Following up on the massive AESO data centre backlog: Alberta's grid constraints have hit a major regulatory turning point. While the province is pro-tech, the physical grid is the ultimate structural limit for AI demand.
The passing of Bill 8 & 12 makes it official: unconditional grid access is over. By introducing a levy on grid-tied data centres and forcing developers to fund their own transmission upgrades, regulators are sending a pointed signal: If you want to scale, you must bring your own power.

Enjoyed participating in the Data Centre and AI Electrification executive leadership roundtable at the Global @energy_show.
Chatham House Rules apply, but the reality is undeniable: the physical grid is the ultimate bottleneck for AI demand. Trying to plug massive data centres into an overloaded public utility system is a multi-year losing battle for developers and ratepayers alike.
The immediate solution? Go off-grid.
By bringing high-density compute directly to stranded energy assets at the wellhead, we bypass transmission queues entirely and bring capacity online in months instead of years. The future of digital infrastructure is being built by energy operators.

The growing AESO backlog reported by The Logic shows that while Alberta has been the most open province to data centre development, the physical grid is the ultimate constraint given the demand. This is not just an ERCOT or PJM problem.
We're breaking this barrier by running our infrastructure 100% off-grid. We bring the compute directly to the wellhead, instantly converting captive natural gas into digital power.
No transmission queues. Just rapidly scalable, behind-the-meter infrastructure.

Our CEO @NWDSean joined NYSE Wired Crypto Trailblazers this week to discuss New West Data’s dual-revenue model.
We are breaking the digital infrastructure bottleneck by bringing the demand directly to the supply. As a vertically integrated producer and compute operator, we bypass the public grid, eliminate transmission queues, and instantly convert our self-owned captive natural gas into digital power.

NEWS: We have signed an LOI to acquire Entrada Resources, setting the stage for a transformational acquisition! This proposed transaction is expected to:
🛢️ Triple our production to 4,500 BOE/d
⚡️ Double our off-grid power to 35 MW
💻 Provide the concentrated scale to target off-grid HPC and AI compute.

We bring compute to our owned off-grid energy sources at dozens of locations across Alberta. Here's what oil production and natural gas-powered bitcoin mining looks like at one of our sites near Whitecourt: youtu.be/owARYcqt2L0

We don't wait for public utilities to bring us power. We bring the compute to the power.
Expanding our off-grid infrastructure near Grande Prairie to bring 10 MW of compute online in just weeks. No grid delays. Just physical execution.

Will you be in London for the @AIM_Summit? I'll be speaking with Taras Kulyk, CEO @SynteqDigital and @russellcann, CDO @Core_Scientific about mining, energy, and the new digital commodity cycle on May 19 - let's connect!

While traditional grid-tied operations are grappling with a margin squeeze, we're experiencing profitable growth. We don't rent our power; we generate it, and that makes all the difference.
May 1
Appreciate the context from @TheEnergyMag. As major operators face a historic margin squeeze and rising grid costs, the need for sustainable, independent power generation has never been clearer.
By operating off-grid, we run at a fraction of the cost of other miners, protecting our margins and driving profitable growth.

It was a pleasure to speak with @SGBBarbour, @dfjonsson, and @_bradcuddy_ at #Bitcoin2026 about the importance of investing in energy to power compute. I shared @NewWestData's story about creating digital egress by using natural gas at oil wells to power bitcoin mining and compute. As the only vertically-integrated miner and oil and gas producer in the industry, our costs are at least 50% lower than other miners because we own - and control - our power supply.

Billions are pouring into AI infrastructure, but paper megawatts don't run compute. ⚡️
The industry is paralyzed by 5-year grid interconnection queues in parts of the U.S. At @newwestdata, we bypass the grid entirely.
Off-grid. Vertically integrated. Energized today. Execution > Capital.

Regulatory shift in AB: Oil & Gas operating licenses may soon be tied directly to municipal property tax compliance. With $250M in historical tax arrears deemed unrecoverable, tracking operator liabilities is more critical than ever. Let data drive accountability. westernstandard.news/news/al… 💡📉 #Alberta #EnergySector #Compliance #NewWestData

$90 oil is rewriting Alberta's short-term economic outlook, as @ChrisVarcoe notes in the @calgaryherald. But the long-term economic driver is the convergence of our energy sector with digital asset infrastructure. Monetizing excess power is the future of AB tech. calgaryherald.com/opinion/co…

1/2 AI power demand is projected to surge 175% by 2030, but the traditional U.S. grid is tapped out. In major markets, interconnection delays are now pushing 7 years.
You can't run next-gen AI models on a grid that takes half a decade to upgrade. 🧵👇

2/2 The immediate solution? The digital asset industry.
Bitcoin miners already control gigawatts of high-density, behind-the-meter power. At New West Data, we have a stand-out track record of transforming our owned, off-grid energy to power digital asset mining in less than 90 days. And we're ready to do the same with high performance compute.

1/4 Data centres are projected to consume 945 TWh by 2030, roughly the entire electricity output of Japan. ⚡️ The grid is choked. Prices in North America are climbing 4-5% YoY. If your business model relies on "plugging in" and hoping for cheap grid power, you're in trouble.🧵👇

3/4 We don't have gas egress issues. We have low-cost energy opportunities to power compute. By owning the gas wells that others can't monetize, we turn a midstream bottleneck into an upstream advantage. No transmission fees. No curtailment. Pure uptime.
