Beginning in 1995, the Permian Basin Artificial Lift Forum was an annual, two-day event in Midland TX, geared towards operators sharing and discussing best practices and artificial lift-related technology. The forum features multiple Permian-based operators and vendors making short presentations, after which attendee questions spark further discussions. In 2025 an additional day was added to the event to include Facilities.
The 2026 Permian Basin Artificial Lift and Facilities Forum is schedule for November 3-5, with an added day focusing on Facilities, at the Bush Convention Center, Midland, TX. The three-day forum costs $250. A one-day Facilities only registration is $100. The registration fee includes seating at the forum, light breakfast, lunch, breaks and happy hour.
