Introduction

The fifth Middle East Artificial Lift Forum (MEALF) will be held at the Gulf hotel in Bahrain, from 16-18 February 2009. This forum builds on the success of the previous event and is again being organized in response to the demand expressed within the industry due to the rapid increase in the use of artificial lift technologies in the Middle East region. Its purpose is to promote dialogue and discussion among new and existing artificial lift users by sharing best practices, experiences, case histories and new technologies.

The main conference will consist of presentations and forum discussion sessions as well as an exhibition of related technology and services. An optional pre-conference training workshop will be held on 16 February 2009.
