This week, Branden Pronk, president and co-founder of Xstream Lift, joins us to talk about the future of artificial lift and the game-changing innovations reshaping oil production. Branden shares how his boots-on-the-ground experience in North Dakota and a career focused on production and artificial lift inspired Xstream Lift’s unique approach to high-pressure gas lift. We dive into the challenges of electric submersible pumps (ESPs) and why the industry is searching for smarter, more sustainable solutions. Branden also introduces their patented Ultra Low Methane technology, a breakthrough for reducing emissions in even the most remote locations. From Xstream Lift’s origin story to its vision for a more efficient and sustainable oil industry, this conversation is packed with insights from the frontlines of energy innovation.
