Scott RutherfordDover Art. LiftYesYesYesPossibly have one more break to encourage discussion

between the participants.

Dennis HarrisChevron ETCYesYesYesMy thanks to COP for hosting the event, Perhaps rotate hosting? The room should not be a cafeteria, difficult to have with noise. The number of presenters seems right for the time frame.

Alastar SimpsonVesper Pumps Inc.YesYesYesWider audience? Thank you for putting on a well-organized event.

Rajan ChokshiWeatherfordYesYesYesHave at least one presentation from an Operator on one or more of the following themes: 1) Experience with novel technologies, 2) Particularly what Operators would have done differently. 3) Expectations from Inventors’ 4) Process/framework that supports new technology available/desired.

Rodolfo MartinezEP EnergyYesYesNoAbstract may be a bit more informative.

Greg PiotrowiczEP EnergyYesYesYesLocation was noisy. People getting lunch were distracting. It would be good to have the

Presentations before to take notes on.

Ben LuecombConocoPhillipsYesYesYesBetter meeting room.

Greg StephensonConocoPhillipsYesYesYesWould be good to get more presenters. Also, could be better advertised. If event grows, may need a larger venue (i.e. hotel ballroom, Norris Convention Center, etc.) Overall, quality of presentations / technology readiness level was improved vs. last year.

YesYesYesWould recommend different meeting room. Acoustics could have been better and around the lunch hour noise from the cafeteria was distracting. Appreciated the

length of presentation time and adherence to the schedule.

YesYesYesPlease allow more time for Q&A. Maybe allow people to present the new products that are looking for companies to provide resources and wells to do testing.

David GreenWell Master Corp.YesYesYesNot sure how to engage more smaller and under-funded presenters. But I would rather see more entrepreneurs and individual inventors. Should not see Weatherford in this category, although they put up good material. Morning session was good and I see potential for collaboration on at least one item.

Gabriel CochranWelldogYesYesYesPlease do not use this room again. It is very hard to concentrate and stay focused on the Presenter.

David LewisCycloneYesYesYesThe room was very distracting with people setting outside the meeting room and having conversations.

Mike WardEP EnergyYesYesYesIs was mentoned this was the second year for this presentation. It would be interesting to know about the status of any of these projects and what kind of success were had from previous years presentations/projects.

Henning HansenHanson PumpsYesYesYesAfter each presenter, each Operating Company should state level of interest.

Alex HagemanAccelerated ProductYesYesNo

Victor SalazarEP EnergyYesYesYesPossibility to bring technology that has been tested in thefield and available. Present proven new artificial lift technology. Less noise area.

Mark PetrieOxyYesYesYesGreat to see new emerging technology. Cafeteria setting was a bit noisy. Great forum for inventers.

Barry NicholsonOxyYesYesYesI like the format. May be more interesting if they had a place to put models or samples. Last two presentations seemed to be asking for sale and marketing information. There were with Weatherford.

Ken HoodOxyYesYesNoThanks for the invite. Presenters didn’t seem in all cases to explain their invention very well. Should have better schematic drawings to help understand their invention. Also, would be helpful to have standard presentation template which would drawings, best application, etc.

Bill SappJohn CraneYesYesNoContinue to bring in / show new ideas that have a chance to add to our industry. Be prepared to show costs plus before/after test cases.

Craig WittenhagenChesapeakeYesYesNoI think it is good to do this. It will only take one idea to change our industry and this is a way to make this happen.

James MartinArt . Lift SolutionsYesYesYesAnimation would improve understanding. I am available to help Presenters create animations at small or no fee.

Jun XuShell InternationalYesYesYesI’m wondering, how many new technologies presented last year were interesting and funded by Operators and how many have

been placed on trial? Review and select one or two new technologies that are most promising for lab validation or field triialbe an Industry JIP.

Chandran PeringodShell InternationalYesYesYesIntroduce participants. Get big service provider participation – HLS, SLB, GE, NOV, etc.

Cleon DunhamALRDCYesYesYesHave it again next year, same time, possible a new location. Include animations.

John AlredOpal ResourcesYesYesNo

Richard DelaloyeConocoPhillipsYesYesNoIt is my recommendation that the inventions and agenda go out at an earlier date . All else needs no improvement or change.

Earl SperlingWestern FalconYesYesNoA great forum to have inventors show and able to test their products with Producers.

  • 21 people said that changes should be made for next year.
  • 26 people made constructive comments.(see above)
