The book 'Principles of Artificial Lift' explains the basics and
fundamentals as well as the recent technology advancements in the field
of artificial lift of producing oil and gas wells. This book is written
primarily for Production Engineers and Petroleum Engineering college
students of senior level as well as graduate level. Although the purpose
of this book is to help as well as teaching artificial lift, it is
supposed to be useful as a reference book to the engineers, performing
artificial application in Petroleum Industries. We recognize that the
topic of 'Principle of Artificial lift' is not complete without a basic
understanding of the concept regarding well-inflow performance and
multiphase flow in pipes. This inflow performance is being elaborated in
easiest manner at very beginning of the book. Regarding presentation,
this book focuses on presenting and illustrating engineering principles
used for designing and analyzing well bore lifting systems, rather than
in depth Reservoir Engineering Theories. Since the material of this book
is virtually boundless in depth, knowing what to omit was greatest
difficulty with its editing. Many of the industry known basic formula
are used instead of deriving the same.
