Artificial lift
Honorees Rajan Chokshi and Mike Poythress say the guidance they received, and later shared with others, helped shape decades of innovation and leadership in artificial lift.
As digital technologies become commonplace, industry leaders say core engineering knowledge remains essential for making informed decisions and avoiding costly mistakes.
While equipment run life and reliability remain core concerns, experts say operators are increasingly turning to real-time surveillance and autonomous optimization to unlock new production gains.
