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. Artificial lift is applicable when the bottom hole pressure of the well is not sufficient enough to liftthe fluid to the surface on its own. Here is the most comprehensive and up-to-date reference work available for undergraduate students and the oil and gas industry. The author Mr. N.K. Mitra includes background information, theory and insight gained from his industry experience of 36 years. He is amongst the front-runners in the area of deepwater technology. Co-author, Shri Adesh Kumar has also contributed immensely for application of artificial lift system in Indian oil and gas industry.
