Production Field Tour A tour of field operations showing various types of artificial lift methods, automation and controls is available. The tour is a one day affair touring areas close to Lubbock.

Last year's tour was reviewed very well by those that took the tour. The tour will include the latest in beam pump controls, automation, and analysis. Other methods of lift will be included such as ESP, Plunger and PCP including technical developments in those areas as well. West Texas operators are world leaders in the areas of remote computerized supervisory controls and data acquisition. This course is related to operating gas wells as they begin to deplete and liquids begin to accumulate in the tubing causing reduced production.
