Topic: "High Pressure Gas Lift - The Fastest Growing Artificial Lift Method for Unconventional Wells?"

DESCRIPTION: In a brief period of 8 years, High Pressure Gas Lift (HPGL) has grown from zero to over 4000 applications in unconventional wells and is adding more than 1000 new applications per year. How HPGL works and why it is growing so quickly will be presented along with data from many successful HPGL applications. Other successful applications outside of artificial lift for new unconventionals will also be shared to show the flexibility and versatility of this rapidly growing lift method.

Speaker Bio: Larry has worked the last 8 years as a production optimization consultant after a 38 year career at ConocoPhillips. He was part of the original team that brought High Pressure Gas Lift (HPGL) to the industry and currently spends much of his consulting time on HPGL applications. Larry serves as president of the Artificial Lift Research and Development Council and also teaches courses for PetroSkills on Artificial Lift and Gas Well Deliquification.
