“Artificial Lift Intelligence”

spe-aberdeen.org

You might think you know everything you need to know about Artificial Lift but is this true? Developments in Artificial Intelligence and autonomous control show that technology never stands still.

The biennial EuALF is a well-established forum organized by SPE Aberdeen for artificial lift professionals that will take an informed look at what the brave new world of Artificial Intelligence means to the established world of Artificial Lift.

This online conference will be held over five days with each day containing 2.5 hours of high quality and insightful presentations, Techbytes and Q&A sessions. Read on to view the technical programme.

Artificial Lift Design and Diagnosis Practical Workshop - 3-4 February 2021, 1130-1430

We are holding an online training course on ‘Artificial Lift Design and Diagnosis’ with ESP’s as the focus for Day 1 and Gas Lift for Day 2. Delivered by Alastair Baillie, the first session of each day will cover the Concepts, Equipment and Design topics plus new technologies. The second session of each day will cover the Design and Diagnosis Workshop, reviewing various case histories.
