        Based on the expertise of an international panel of speakers, this meeting will review the optimum application of the varying methods of Artificial Lift.

        Are operating parameters and performance levels being met by the current technology?
        What can we learn from the operators experiences to date?

        Selected areas of Artificial Lift to be covered include:

          Field Development Planning
          Subsea Boosting Systems implemented by Petrobras
          Application of the hydraulic drive concept
          Subsea ESP Technology as applied on the Amoco Liuhia Project
          Latest status of the VASPS Development Project
          Reliability of gas lift valves
        The programme includes an interactive discussion with Alastair Simpson of Triangle Engineering Consultants Ltd, who will chair day two and a speaker and panel session during which delegates will have the opportunity to discuss key issues and exchange views on 'Artificial Lift'.
