Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

The global oilfield

~$170 billion in 2005 to a
record $451 billion in
2014.
Global economic
challenges in 2008-2009
caused oil and gas prices
to fall, which slowed
drilling in 2009. In 2015,
an oversupply of oil and
gas is depressing prices,
dragging down the oilfield
equipment & service
sector.
Spears’ outlook for the

Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
12
The chart below plots the impact of declining demand on sales for artificial lift during the period 2008-2009. Each
“bucket” shows the number of companies in artificial lift equipment category whose sales fell by that percentage.
From this we see that many lift companies fell by 20-40% during the last down cycle. These tended to be the
smaller, US/Canadian firms without a significant presence outside North America.
It is reasonable to assume that the pattern will repeat in 2015, with global artificial lift companies faring well and
small domestic companies struggling.

15. Description: What is it?
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
DESCRIPTION
Artificial lift is installed in wells that need to supplement the natural reservoir drive in boosting fluids out of the
wellbore. 90 percent of the existing producing oil wells and gas wells requiring water removal utilize some type of
artificial lift. Many oil wells that are initially free-flowing will require artificial lift as they mature, particularly since
most begin to produce water.
The main types of artificial lift used are rod-lift systems, gas lift systems, electric submersible pumps (ESPs) and
progressing cavity pumps. Other lift systems include plunger lift and hydraulic lift.
Depth of the well, volume of fluid to be pumped, and the properties of those fluids (e.g. whether they are
corrosive) are the primary factors in choosing the type of artificial lift to be installed. Other factors are the amount
of gas produced, the pressure at the wellbore, and the presence of sand. Deep, deviated wells with harsh
downhole conditions in environmentally sensitive areas lean toward the use of hydraulic lift.

Hydraulic lift is well suited for
high angle and horizontal wells.
These units have no moving
parts, relying on a stream of oil
to be pumped down a well and
jetted up the tubing, drawing
with it the well bore’s fluids.
Prior to the boom in horizontal
drilling, hydraulic lift was a dying
technology with few
applications. The largest single
market was in Latin America.
But the US now represents by far
the largest market.

Gas lift is used offshore where
excess natural gas is compressed
and reinjected to energize fluids
coming from the reservoir. The
market generally shows the
steadiest growth of any artificial
lift technology and depends
largely on offshore and
international projects.
In recent years, however, small
gas lift systems have been used
on US horizontal oil wells since it
has no moving parts downhole
and gas has been cheap.

Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
Plunger lift is used late in the life
of a gas well. These are suited
for older, low pressure gas wells
that produce a small amount of
fluid, generally water or
condensate. Plunger lift, which
uses the low energy available in
these wells, is a very practical
and wide spread tool for
production managers around the
world, but particularly in the US.
The gas well population is aging
today as a result of very low
natural gas prices.

related costs were 3.3% less the prior
quarter. As a result, overall production
equipment costs were 2.1% lower in Q4
2013 than in Q4 2012.
Production equipment includes wellheads,
artificial lift, compression, gas processing,
and measurement gear.
An oil well requires more production gear
than a gas well. The shift to oil drilling has
greatly increased demand for production
equipment (the number of oil wells
drilled increased at a 30% CAGR from
2009 through 2012).
With US oil well drilling dropping in 2015,
all prices in the oilfield are declining,
therefore, production equipment prices
are expected to be down 5-10% going
forward.

29. Artificial Lift by Type
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
This is a table provided by
Weatherford to describe the
various downhole conditions that
are best suited for each of the
major lift types.
For example, the progressing
cavity pump works to ~6,000’
vertical depth, can pump 4,500
barrels of fluid per day, operates
in temperatures up to 325 F, does
great when solids are produced,
but is only fair at dealing with
corrosive fluids. Light oils won’t
pump through this system, so API
gravity has to remain below 35
degrees. PCPs are the most
efficient lift system available.

The artificial lift industry does not generally
publish its failures – or much detail about the
industry. But several years ago a pump company
provided Spears with the accompanying table to
show the various causes of ESP failure by region.
For example, in Alaska, cables were the cause of
25% of all pump failures while on land in North
America, cables represented on 10% of all
failures. Over in Africa, cables were the cause of
half the failures.

For 2015, Spears is forecasting a
DECLINING new oilwell drilling number
due to sufficiently high quantities of oil
being delivered from within the US
market. This assumes also that the US
during the period is NOT allowed to
export material amounts of crude oil.
After 2015, drilling should again rise.
Meanwhile, ESP$/new oilwell continues
to rise, helping the ESP market remain
relatively stable while drilling drops.
34. Impact of Temperature on Lift
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
34
Temperature can play a key role in the performance of tools and materials
used to drill, complete and produce wells. Surface temperatures can range
from -40 degrees F to +130 degrees F. Bottom hole temperatures can range
from 100 degrees F to 450 degrees F. In one of the most extreme conditions
on land in the US – North Louisiana – drilling a well on a cold winter day can
find a tool being delivered to the wellsite on a truck driving through 20 degree
F weather and the tool being run into the wellbore two hours later, hitting 350
degrees F when it reaches the bottom of the well. Or in North Dakota, surface
temperatures can be -40 and bottom hole temperatures 315. Electronics,
mechanical devices and fluid systems must be designed and built such that
they can survive the trip to the wellsite and the trip in the hole, performing
reliably and repeatedly day after day after day.
There is a correlation between high temperature/high pressure (HTHP) and
well depth. This principal is difficult to prove since bottom hole temperatures
and pressures are not consistently collected, however, gradients for both
temperature and pressure show a relationship to depth. Gradients that are
available show temperatures increase with depth, although at different rates
for different regions. Furthermore, these gradients change with the presence
of certain minerals or strata such as salt domes or subsalt structures.
Spears, in partnership with Oilfield Logix, evaluated ~10,000 wells that have
been drilled in the US during the last few years, reviewing data on downhole
temperatures and correlating those temperatures to vertical depth. We have
also tied those bottom hole temperatures to specific producing zones (where
possible) and to counties within the key states (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana,
Colorado and North Dakota). Over the years we will be adding temperature
data to our base of knowledge, expanding (we hope) to all US states with
significant amounts of drilling activity.
36. High Temperature Regions
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
36
Past research by Spears indicates there are more than 200 high temperature reservoirs worldwide of the 31,000 total
reservoirs, but few of these are also high pressure. The most concentrated areas of activity outside the US are the North
Sea (UK, Norway), Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, South China Sea) and Latin America (Mexico, Venezuela). The neighboring
map shows the high temperature areas identified by Spears about ten years ago:
37. Technologies: Fiberglass Rods
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
37
Fiberglass sucker rods are a growing part of artificial lift.
In 2013, we met with a relatively new fiberglass sucker rod manufacturer in Midland. This team consists of veterans in the
fiberglass rod industry. Sales are currently $3M per month and growing, with almost all sales in the oil play of West Texas.
Why this is important
Fiberglass rods have been around for 20 years, but have always played second fiddle to carbon steel or alloy sucker rods.
With the advent/resurgence of oil well drilling combined with highly deviated wells, a flexible rod should find a significant
market. And with artificial lift growing as much as 20% per year, fiberglass rod demand is probably growing at an even
higher rate.
38. Technologies: ESP
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
38
More confirmation that Mississippi Lime wells are being produced by ESP.
We’re finding more and more evidence that ESPs are a preferred lift method for newly drilled Mississippi Lime horizontal
wells. The problem is, these wells are in areas poorly served by rural electric cooperative power grids, so power demand is
getting way ahead of power supply.
Why this is important
To power these electricity‐hungry ESPs, operators like Sandridge are moving toward renting distributed power generation
capacity…otherwise the wells sit idle or produce at some suboptimal rate. We’ll be looking for power generation companies
to recommend, but GE is certainly in this business.
Sandridge is a heavy user of ESPs in Mississippi Lime horizontal wells.
In order to accelerate production in the early days of its wells, Sandridge is installing ESPs in Mississippi Limestone
horizontal wells. And since power quality is poor, they are also renting temporary power generation to drive the pumps.
Attempts to put gas lift on the wells put too much back pressure on the reservoir, restricting oil flow from the zone. And
natural fluid lift was not high enough to employ rod pumps.
Why this is important
This is creating robust demand for ESPs on land in the US. Rod lift has been getting all the artificial lift attention lately, but
ESPs are better suited for high‐angle wells.
39. Technologies: Hydraulic Lift
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
39
Best hydraulic lift applications are those where no other lift technique works.
Each region has a different reason for using hydraulic lift
Western: Severe doglegs with tight surface area restrictions
Rockies: Deep horizontal oil wells
South Louisiana: Harsh downhole environment combined with nearby neighborhoods
Permian: Various oil-related issues
North Texas: Dewatering frac water from gas wells
Operators using hydraulic lift like the system.
Operators not using hydraulic lift have very little understanding of the benefits.
Hydraulic lift is perceived as a high operating cost, low efficiency lift system…even by its most ardent fans.
Customers are looking at ESPs on the surface to power downhole jet pumps.
41. Drivers: Industry Overview
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
The upstream sector of the petroleum industry finds and produces crude oil and natural gas. The upstream sector
is sometimes also known as the exploration and production (E&P) sector.
Participants in the upstream sector are oil and gas companies (also called operators or producers) and oilfield
equipment and service firms (also called oil service companies). Oil and gas companies employ geologists and
engineers to explore, develop, and produce oil and gas reserves. Oil and gas companies hire oil service firms to
drill, complete, and equip their wells. Most oil service firms own specialized equipment (trucks, downhole tools,
etc.) which they use in the course of performing their services for the operator.
Oil and gas companies which participate in the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the petroleum
industry are referred to as “integrated” oil companies, or “majors”. Oil and gas companies that do not participate
in the midstream or downstream sectors of the petroleum industry are known as “independents”.
In the North American market the major oil companies include ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips.
Large independents include firms such as Devon Energy, Chesapeake, EOG Resources, Talisman, Encana, and
Continental Resources. In the North American market some independents drill more wells and produce more oil
and gas than majors.
~3,000 oil and gas companies are active in the North American market, drilling at least one new well per year.
41
42. Drivers: Industry Overview
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
The oil and gas field development life cycle consists of the following steps: Reservoir Information; Contract Drilling;
Drilling Equipment and Services; Completion Equipment and Services; and Production/Maintenance.
In an area where very little drilling has previously been done, an operator may take a year or more to gather and
evaluate reservoir information prior to drilling. Then the operator may drill more than one exploration well (also
known as “wildcats”) to find the reservoir. Once a reservoir has been found other wells (called “appraisal” wells)
are usually drilled to provide more information for planning the full development of the field. Development wells
(also called “production” wells) are then drilled to bring the field online. An operator may take 1-3 years to
conduct exploration and appraisal drilling; development drilling may take another 1-3 years to be completed.
Most operators in North America only drill development wells. The extensive history of drilling in North America
means that there is relatively little unknown acreage. Operators can use information from previously-drilled
nearby wells to evaluate the likelihood of additional reserves for development.
The time required to drill a well ranges widely. Deep (more than 15,000 ft.) offshore exploratory wells in deep
(more than 1,000 ft.) water may take six months to drill and complete. Conversely, a shallow (less than 5,000 ft.
deep) land well might be drilled and completed in less than a week.
Once a well has been put into production it generally continues to produce for 20-50 years. Throughout its life a
well will periodically need repair and maintenance in order to remain productive. This is very important to
demand for artificial lift.
42
43. Drivers: Industry Overview
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
There are over 15,000 oil service firms that serve the market. The “big 4” oil service firms are Schlumberger,
Halliburton, Baker Hughes, and Weatherford International, all of which offer diversified services and operate on a
global basis.
Other large oil service firms or oilfield equipment manufacturers include National Oilwell Varco, FMC, and
Cameron. Large drilling contractors include Transocean, Diamond Offshore, Nabors, and Helmerich & Payne.
43
45. Drivers: Horizontal Drilling in US
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
Horizontal wells are preferred over vertical
wells for the development of shale gas and
tight oil reservoirs. While horizontal wells
typically cost 4-6X more than vertical wells
to drill and complete, horizontal wells can
produce at rates 20-30X higher than those
of vertical wells. The higher production is
because in the US a horizontal well typically
has 4,000-10,000 feet of wellbore exposed
to the producing formation - in contrast to
vertical wells which typically have only 50-
250 feet of wellbore located in the
producing zone.
Due to the higher profitability of horizontal
wells US operators have shifted away from
drilling vertical wells toward drilling
horizontal wells over the past decade.
Rigs drilling horizontal wells currently
account for about 60% of all active rigs, up
from less than 15% of all active rigs in
2005. However, the rate of increase in
penetration of the rig market by horizontal
drilling activity has slowed since 2011,
indicating that this shift in the market has
largely matured.

47. Drivers: Lift vs Oil Price
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
47
Although it seems reasonable that demand for
artificial lift products would be highly correlated
to the price of oil, this is not true.
The scatter graph to the right plots average
annual oil price against that year’s global
artificial lift market for the period 1999-2014.
Although several of the lower left hand data
points suggest a correlation, the 5 highest data
points indicate a completely different
relationship…and these are the data from the
most recent 5 years.
There is no question that high oil prices
positively influence demand for oil lifting
products, but the correlation is not linear.

48. Drivers: Lift vs Drilling Rigs
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
48
Spears has identified several market segments where demand for services is growing in intensity each year. In other words, each
active drilling rig is creating an increasing demand for these particular services each year. While some are downhole drilling
technologies, a few are production-related and a few are tied to offshore activity.
As the chart below shows, artificial lift is one of these high growth segments. In the year 2003, each active drilling rig
generated about $1.5 million in annual demand for artificial lift. By 2008, each rig was on average creating $2.8 million in annual
demand for artificial lift. In 2013, the number is $3.8 million per active rig.
What explains the bump in 2009? The artificial lift market measured in dollars fell, but the active rig count fell farther and faster.
As a result, the “average” temporarily rose. Rigs went back to work in 2010, the annual average fell slightly, but the secular
growth trend continued.

Millions of Dollars Spent on Artificial Lift Each Year

49. Drivers: Lift vs New Wells
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
49
Whereas the prior page compared artificial lift global sales to active drilling rig count, this analysis compares artificial lift global
sales to new well count each year. The math is “artificial lift global sales” divided by “global new well count.”
In 2005, about $50,000 was spent on artificial lift relative to each new well drilled. This year the number will be over $200,000
per new well.
Please note, the artificial lift market is highly dependent upon sales of replacement pumps to wells that were drilled over the
last 50 years and are still producing – this chart does NOT mean that each new well sees $200,000 of artificial lift spending.
However, the industry’s surge toward oil well drilling in the US has been a big driver of this increasing intensity of artificial lift
spending per well.
It is reasonable to believe that this trend will continue for a very long time.

51. Oil/Gas Field Life Expenditures
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
51
• Spears ran through a simple exercise to determine when spending occurs during a field’s development and how much
spending continues as the field is produced over its lifetime.
• The objective of the exercise was to evaluate if an oilfield service company should include in its growth plans the operation
and maintenance of fields, if it should include the building of midstream assets and if end of life plug and abandonment
work represented a big opportunity.
• Spears made certain cost assumptions about developing and operating a 400 well field on land somewhere in North
America.
• ~70% of the capital cost is represented in drilling and completing the 400 wells, which happens over a 4-5 year period.
• ~10% of the capital cost comes from building the midstream assets.
• ~15% of the capital cost comes from operating the 400 wells over its lifetime.
• ~5% of the capital cost comes from abandoning the field at the end of the period.
• From this we conclude that field development represents a huge, short-term opportunity and that operations is probably a
low return business. However, if a service company could operate several fields in one region, a business case might be
made to pursue the work.

Although every field development is unique, understanding when and how much spending occurs instructs the service

In this example US land field, CAPEX for up front exploration was $80M, or $0.2M per eventually drilled well. CAPEX for
drilling & completion was $4M per well. Midstream assets required $160M. CAPEX required to produce each well was
$0.7M over the life of the well. Abandonment required $0.2M per well.

55. Impact of Multi-Well Pads on Lift
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
55
For the first 100 years of the development of oil & gas fields in North America, the vast majority of wells drilled on land were on
a unique, dedicated pad; one pad, one well. These pads were 1 acre to 3 acres in size and were scattered throughout a
developing oilfield. Offshore, big platforms had several wells drilled from the structure, but directionally steered to tap the
reservoir miles from the platform. So while the land industry geared itself to drill one unique well per facility, the offshore
industry geared itself to drill 4 or 8 or 16 wells from a single facility.
As the success of horizontally drilled wells with multiple stage frac jobs surged through the US oil & gas industry, and as the cost
of directional drilling fell with the steady improvement of productivity, drilling engineers sought ways to bring lean
manufacturing to the drilling and completion process. Multiple well pads provided the best solution to this need and is now in
the process of being embraced in every major horizontal play in the US.
But here is the problem: On a multiple well pad, one drilling rig can drill all the wells and one frac crew can frac all the wells and
one coiled tubing unit can clean out all the wells, but each well still requires a unique, dedicated lift system. One well, one lift
system.
In the Soviet Union, Western Siberia’s oilfields were developed from multi-well “Sputniks”, which, translated, means satellite.
These Sputniks had 4-12 wells each and used either ESPs or beam pumps. ESPs had a cleaner look and were better suited for
highly deviated wells. Beam pumps crammed a lot of moving equipment into a very small space…but it was still quite workable.
In the US we have similar well pad configurations now and we see US operators adopting the procedures used for decades in the
Soviet oilfield. But two conditions may be driving demand for linear lift system: Proximity to urban living and technical need for
a long-stroke rod lift system.
With a linear system, the look of the technology is less intimidating to a home owner since large pieces of steel are not
whirling around and moving up and down. It has the appearance of safety.
But we think that customers may be adopting the linear system primarily for its ability to reciprocate the downhole pump
more smoothly and with a longer stroke, doing less damage the production tubing and improving the efficiency of the
pumping operation. We would require more time to investigate the reasons for the linear system’s purchase.
56. Use of Field Service People
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
56
Although the artificial lift industry is primarily a PRODUCTS industry, these products are all installed by PEOPLE. Here are all the
ways people are involved in the process:
Identification of need
Determination of solution via specific lift type recommendation
Sale of lift system
Delivery of lift system
Installation of lift system, including optimization of operation
Maintenance of lift system
Even those artificial lift products that seem the simplest – sucker rods – are supported by teams of people who are expert in
their field. Tenaris, for example, relies on a team of about 7 former Norris Rod veterans to represent their sucker rod product
line. These veterans have accelerated Tenaris into the market such that Tenaris went from 0 feet per month to about 3 million
feet per month into the US market within 5 years.
The team Tenaris relies on are actually distributors of rods and are not employees of Tenaris. This is a valid way to approach the
market in the US. Bell Supply, for example, presents itself as an artificial lift company, representing several different types of lift
system and several different brands. But Bell Supply is not a manufacturer of lift systems. The company will provide all 6 of the
people services listed above and for that will receive compensation either through the mark-up of lift products they have
purchased or through consulting revenues.
57. Lead Times
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
57
The oil & gas industry frequently deals with long delivery times, but delayed delivery of artificial lift equipment directly impacts
the net income of these operators since it delays the production of oil and gas. Therefore, the artificial lift industry has typically
geared itself for immediate, off-the-shelf delivery of products and services for the North American market. International
markets are a bit more forgiving given the longer planning cycle of most field development projects.
Here is the impact of delayed delivery of lift equipment:
A well in the Bakken will often come on stream flowing 1,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD). This daily production will fall rapidly
as reservoirs flush out the initial production, dropping to, say, 300 BOPD, then 200… The oil producer will typically install some
form of artificial lift within 3-6 months of the well being brought on stream in order to improve its level of oil output. By
installing artificial lift, the operator may be able to improve his daily oil output by 100-200 BOPD. If the desired lift system is
delayed by one month, the cost to the operator is the loss of that incremental production (100-200 BOPD) for 30 days. At $100
per barrel, the cost of that delay is 150 BOPD x 30 days x $100/bbl = $450,000.
The oil & gas industry can more easily tolerate a delay in the drilling and completion process, but once the well is ready for
production, delays are painful.
Most conventional artificial lift systems are available within days of an order coming in. The rod lift industry in particular has
service and supply depots in all major basins stocked with all standard parts and sizes – beam pumps, sucker rods, downhole
pumps, rod guides, polished rods…
The successful oilfield service company providing products and services to the rod lift market in the US will have immediate
availability of all standard sizes stationed within a few hundred miles of the various addressable markets.
58. Electrical Power
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
58
Spears & Associates has done very little analysis on demand for electric power to drive artificial lift systems. We do, however,
conduct interviews daily with field operations people on a variety of topics. Here is a short blurb from Spears’ internal library
from conversations in Q1 2013 regarding new field developments in Oklahoma’s Mississippi Limestone horizontal play and its
demand on electric power:
More confirmation that Mississippi Lime wells are being produced by ESP.
We’re finding more and more evidence that ESPs are a preferred lift method for newly drilled Mississippi Lime horizontal wells.
The problem is, these wells are in areas poorly served by rural electric cooperative power grids, so power demand is getting way
ahead of power supply.
Why this is important
To power these electricity-hungry ESPs, operators like Sandridge are moving toward renting distributed power generation
capacity…otherwise the wells sit idle or produce at some sub-optimal rate. We’ll be looking for power generation companies to
recommend, but GE is certainly in this business.
59. The Lifecycle of Artificial Lift
Spears & Associates: Artificial Lift Market
59
Most wells in the US and Canada have a single type of lift system installed for the life of the well. The most common single lift
system is rod lift. Most wells on land have a rod lift system installed when the well is first drilled and that lift system remains in
place for the life of the well (perhaps 50 years or longer). Over time the size of rod lift pump might be reduced as the well’s
production declines, but the type of lift system remains the same.
But there are other wells and fields where the lift system required on the first day is not the lift system still in place 3 years later
due to the well’s declining output. These tend to be the highest fluid output wells where an ESP is required that can deliver
1,000 barrels of fluid per day or greater from a highly angled wellbore. As time does by, a lower cost, lower volume lift system
may be installed – hydraulic lift or rod lift or plunger lift.
There is no analysis available that quantifies that trend. So much depends on a well’s specific performance and on an operator’s
philosophy of production. Two clusters of wells side by side, but owned by different oil companies, can have dramatically
different lift techniques employed. As long as there exists overlapping applications for multiple lift technologies, it will be hard
to predict where and when a product will be used.

Baker Hughes has been a leading ESP manufacturer for decades through its Centrilift division. Centrilift has
manufacturing in Oklahoma, Argentina and Asia. The company is the largest ESP company in the world.
But as large as ESP is, the company has very little presence in any other lift type. Other than a small PCP line, BHI
does not provide other lift products, nor has the company shown any interest in acquiring or organically developing
other lift options.
Baker Hughes is currently being acquired by Halliburton, which has only a limited presence in artificial lift.

Baker Hughes is almost a pure manufacturer of ESPs.
The company has a small PCP product that it tends to
put on the ESP motors it produces, but we’ve
identified no other products in the pipeline.
BHI is not a highly acquisitive company. It is probably
the least acquisitive of the major service companies.
We do not see BHI expanding its product offering in
the foreseeable future.
Of the major service companies, Baker Hughes is the
slowest to adopt non‐home‐grown ideas. BHI is
difficult to work with as an outside vendor. They are
the slowest of the major service companies about
testing, approving and adopting new ideas and
products that “were not invented here”.
Assuming that technology adoption is a significant
driver of growth of an oilfield service company, how
much have the 4 major companies grown since 2005?
BHI – 102%, SLB – 113%,
WFT – 163% and HAL – 173%.

GE supplies a wide range of artificial lift products, including ESPs (acquired from Wood Group) and rod lift and PCP

GE’s acquisition of Lufkin in 2013 surprised investors because GE is known for the deployment of technology and
Lufkin still works with 100 year-old technology. But GE’s investment shows an acknowledgement that, as good as
ESP might be, currently rod lift is better. Plus, Lufkin brings to GE all the rest of the lift technologies GE didn’t
already own.
GE is clearly showing the oil and gas industry that it intends to be a dominant player in lifting hydrocarbons around
the world.

GE Oil & Gas acquired Wood Group’s oilfield division
5 years ago, gaining the #3 ESP company “ESP, Inc.”
with a base of operations in Oklahoma.
In 2013, GE acquired Lufkin, which had itself recently
acquired Quinn in Canada. Lufkin brought to GE a
market leading ROD LIFT company, PCP company,
AUTOMATION division, and several other bits and
pieces that serve the oilfield’s production needs.
The significant gaps in GE’s artificial lift portfolio
include SUCKER RODS, GAS LIFT, HYDRAULIC LIFT AND
PLUNGER LIFT. Although the company has a small
toe-hold in some of these, GE is not well represented
and will probably move to acquire these products and
services. Of all these gaps, SUCKER RODS are the
biggest gap.

Inc., an industry leader in the design, fabrication, distribution, and service of progressive cavity pump systems,
progressive cavity wellhead drives, and surface drive units in Q2 2014. If HAL’s proposed acquisition of Baker

Halliburton acquired Global Energy Services about 3
years ago and entered the artificial lift space for the

Since the acquisition, HAL has invested in organic

artificial lift services extended into the other lift types.
We believe the company has limited manufacturing at
this point.
We believe that HAL will seek to grow its lift business
by investment in its existing company and through
tactical acquisitions. The board appears to be keen to
expand its presence in artificial lift, which analysts
have pointed out is a hole in their product offering.

Summit ESP was formed in 2010 by artificial lift
veterans to provide high-touch service to US
consumers of ESPs. The company sourced
components in China (mostly) with complete
assemblies delivered to the company’s Oklahoma and
Texas plants.
Most of the company’s funding comes from George
Kaiser-control entities, which is very patient private
equity. The company is eager to invest in organic
growth. We do not see an appetite for acquisitions.
John Kenner started Summit with 5 people in 2010.
The company moved into its current west Tulsa space
— the former base of bankrupt Arrow Trucking Co. —
to have room for growth. Now, the workforce is
almost up to 500. Summit employs ~175 people at its
Tulsa base and another 300 companywide. Its other
manufacturing plants are in Midland, Texas and
Canada.
As aggressive as Summit ESP has been, the company is

Weatherford International has been the largest
artificial lift company for over a decade. The
company’s sales grew strongly after 2010 due to
extremely robust oil well drilling in the US and Canada
in well types that fit WFT’s product offering.
Weatherford corporation is divesting assets currently,
but not their artificial lift group. This division has been
a solid cash contributor since it was assembled via
acquisition (~30 acquisitions) in the ‘Nineties.
Lack of management focus in 2013 caused company
sales to be slower than the broader industry, but we
expect 2014 to again be a solidly up year.
WFT is missing only one lift type in its portfolio: ESP.
The company had a minor ownership of BORETS until
2013, but solid the minor position to raise cash.
As a result of its lift strategy, SLB will probably surpass
