1. Welcome to the 35th Annual Gas-Lift Workshop
Title slide
Keep the title brief and to one line?
The second line (in smaller type style) is for the date of the presentation – depending on your presentation, you may also need to include Location and/or Presenter’s name/s and Job title if needed – as a such a second line may be used for these purposes.
Do not include unnecessary information in your presentation title – starting off with clear and simple messages will set the style and focus the audience for what is to follow.
Gas-Lift – The Premier Artificial Lift Method

2. Gas-Lift Workshop Mission
To provide a forum for gas-lift operators, and those related to operations, for the exchange of information related to economic operation of gas-lifted oil and gas wells.
To provide a forum to learn of new techniques, equipment, and products related to gas-lift.
Gas-lift is used to produce vast quantities of oil and natural gas in the world. Here are percentages of production on artificial lift.
BP 47%
CoP 45%
ExxonMobil 53%
Petrobras 90%
Shell 64%
2012 Gas-Lift Workshop
Feb. 6 – 10, 2012

3. Gas-Lift Workshop Vision
The information exchanged in the workshop will lead to new and better operational techniques and identify the need for new products for the operation of gas-lift wells. 
This will lead to increased success for both oil and gas well operators and suppliers of products and equipment.
