EuALF 2022 EUROPEAN ARTIFICIAL LIFT FORUM

Fuelling the Transition

Technical Programme Here

The biennial EuALF is a well-established forum organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers Aberdeen Section for Artificial Lift, Production, Completions and Geothermal Professionals, specifically to promote technology, innovation and collaboration.

How do we optimise production post-pandemic? We need to utilise, improve and adapt our existing technology to reduce the carbon footprint while transitioning to renewable energy sources. To assist during this period, we need to make the most of our current well stock and reinvigorate existing fields by introducing and/or optimising artificial lift. We must drive the adoption of emerging technologies such as alternative deployed ESP’s, fibre optic sensing for gas lift optimisation, geothermal energy applications, etc. This can assist in providing the resources required to help fuel the energy transition.

In the challenging environment of the oil industry today, ‘tried and tested’ still has an important place, however, we will welcome abstracts on all types of novel artificial lift technology – including artificial intelligence, chemical injection, flow assurance, HPHT, completion technology; design, control and performance modelling, at various stages of recognised Technology Readiness Level definitions.

We have a dedicated EuALF group Linkedin page, join here.
