Sept. 14 – 17, Sucker Rod Pumping Workshop4 General Chairman Brent Thomas Brent focuses in low volume lift methods, primarily rod pumping and plunger lift with quite a bit of experience in capillary tubing. Operations and workover and recompletion duties are other areas that he has performed. The importance of Gas Well Deliquification and the value of mature oil and gas well properties and the inherent problems associated with their operation has been a big part of his career. Brent also has considerable experience in horizontal well development in fields such as the Barnett and fields requiring hydraulic fracturing. Well failure analysis and improvement recommendations are also areas of interest. Heavy oil and steam flood projects comprise a big part of his current activities. Brent has been a session chair at both the Gas Well Deliquification workshops and the Sucker Rod workshop in the past and provides internal training on rod pumping, plunger lift and corrosion surveillance within Chevron.
