BRIEF EXPLANATION: What I’d like to discuss with you today is your activity and needs regarding artificial lift including ESPs, gas lift and high-pressure gas lift.  The research is sponsored by a leading supplier in this field.  They need your input to plan how they should improve in order to provide you with the level and types of products and services you require and deserve.  Kimberlite acts as an unbiased, third party to collect, aggregate and analyze the data and your personal anonymity is assured. The results of this study are taken very seriously, and this is an opportunity to voice your needs and opinions to shape the development of new technologies and services for this market.  As a professional courtesy, a complimentary report summary will be shared with all respondents upon completion of the project.
