SPE is considering the possibility of holding a similar event in the near future. Please keep checking www.spe.org/meetings for details on future meetings.
An artificial lift system comprises technologies and components from downhole pumping systems, to surface controls, monitoring, and automation. In addition, reservoir studies, well design, construction, and maintenance also play a critical role in the success or failure of the system.
This workshop combines all aspects of artificial lift systems allowing participants to see the full interactive circle of technologies and competencies. Presentations, interactive discussions, and a poster session will cover diverse topics as:
|
Technology Trends
|
State of the Art Artificial Lift: Method Specific

Competencies
|
Field Optimization
