AL Course for Unconventional Fields

Just finished teaching (with 4 other experts) a course on Artificial Lift for Unconventional Assets. We put a lot of effort into this over the past six months.  Good to be teaching again. 

Already have the next class lined up for November.  The world of unconventional fields, (oil and gas shales, mainly) is very different.  Artificial lift is the same, but needs to be much more cost competitive and much more flexible than the world of traditional (conventional) fields.  This brings a wide variety of challenges and some creative solutions. New technology will help, but also better, standardized, more automated ways of working must become the norm.
