Message From The Program Chairperson

Dear Colleagues,

Electric submersible pumps (ESPs) have been utilized in oil production since the early 1900’s and remain an integral piece of production equipment to this day. ESP applications range from benign conventional high water cut wells to some of the most challenging applications in the world. As the frontiers of ESP utilization continue to challenge the limitations of technologies, it is important that industry professionals share knowledge, challenges, and successes in order to drive innovation in the use of this important form of artificial lift.

The SPE Gulf Coast Section Electric Submersible Pumps Symposium brings ESP technical experts from around the world together - both from operators and manufacturers - to share innovative information and lessons learned pertaining to ESP technology, production, and operations. The symposium brings together a strong technical program, a world class exhibition showing and demonstrating the newest offerings from manufacturers, and multiple training opportunities dedicated to ESP related equipment and applications.

This unique event is only held once every two years and is one of the very few industry events that is solely dedicated to ESPs. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, network, and see firsthand the latest in ESP technology and industry knowledge. 

The program committee members look forward to seeing you in The Woodlands, Texas in May 2019. 

Sincerely,

 


Leon Waldner
