Gas-Lift Workshop Mission

To provide a forum for gas-lift operators, and those related to operations, for the exchange of information related to economic operation of gas-lifted oil and gas wells. To provide a forum to learn of new techniques, equipment, and products related to gas-lift. Gas-lift is used to produce vast quantities of oil and natural gas in the world. Here are percentages of production on artificial lift.

Gas-Lift Workshop Vision

The information exchanged in the workshop will lead to new and better operational techniques and identify the need for new products for the operation of gas-lift wells.

This will lead to increased success for both oil and gas well operators and suppliers of products and equipment.
