Say I'm the Acme Oil and Gas company and I operate Wells in Canada and all of a sudden I'm looking at the situation and thinking 'i need to shutter 100 well sites', I'm probably not the only company having to do that. Am I figuring right that sealing off or otherwise pausing an operation is a different man power concern outside of the usual steam chief , electrical engineer etc operating crew? Is it possible to physically shutter these well sites if this lingers for a long time or even gets worse?
Is there a situation where the need to limit or stop production reaches some urgency?
I'm trying to understand how it works operationally.

If your question is where will these Operators get the people to actually shut the wells off, the answer is they don't require additional workers for the most part. The wells are either operated remotely as mentioned so it's the click of a mouse, or they all have well operators who are people who visit the sites daily and they would do it. But either way those people are already on staff/contract.
