As oil and gas producers have rapidly shifted from a production-at-all-cost operating strategy to focusing almost exclusively on cash generation, operational efficiency has become paramount. That means less downtime, quicker drilling and completions operations, and optimized production rates.
Service providers are responding in kind, rolling out new technologies that enable producers to achieve those efficiencies, and subsequently, significant cost savings.
In the artificial lift market, reducing system breakdown and ensuring wells produce to expected—and beyond expected—production estimates are top priorities.
In this exclusive interview with Hart Energy, Ambyint Chief Commercial Officer Chris Robart discusses the role of artificial lift amid the industry recovery, as well as the Houston-based oilfield technology company’s recent partnership with Microsoft designed to bring even further optimized well production rates.
