Page 1 of 1
GOODBLUELOGOevensmalleresesest.jpg

Today I would like to discuss your needs in the area of artificial lift equipment including use of rod lift, ESP, gas lift, plunger lift, PCP systems and Production Chemicals. The research is being sponsored by a group of leading manufacturers and service suppliers in this field.  They will use the feedback to improve products and services to better meet your operational requirements.  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.
