EVOL x Reservoir Group: How Electric Gas Lift is Transforming Well Production

In this special episode of Energy Voice Out Loud, brought to you in partnership with Reservoir Group, host Mathew Perry sits down with Reagan Wilkins, Product Development Manager at Sage Rider Inc, to explore a technology that’s set to shake up the world of artificial lift.
Electric gas lift has been around in concept for over a decade, but Reservoir Group’s innovations are making it more efficient, smarter, and far more controllable than traditional systems. From onshore wells in West Texas to the potential for offshore deployment in the North Sea, Reagan and Mathew discuss how digital controls, valve modulation, and the digital oilfield are opening new opportunities for operators, engineers, and production teams.
They dig into the economic and operational challenges that this technology addresses, why it matters for hydrocarbon recovery, and how automation is creating opportunities rather than replacing jobs. Listeners will also hear about the lessons learned from real-world deployments and what the future could hold for the offshore oil and gas sector.
If you’re curious about cutting-edge well technology and the future of digital oilfield operations, this is one episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in to Energy Voice Out Loud each week for the first word in UK energy.

EVOL: GB Energy questions, Liebreich laments, and 'bespoke' permits

Energy Voice's Ryan Duff, Erikka Askeland, and Mat Perry discuss the number one question GB Energy boss, Dan McGrail, has been asked since taking over the state-backed body. Erikka tells us about the speech Dan delivered while at the Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards in Aberdeen, in which he said the most popular question he's asked is "What is GB Energy?" There were some interesting insights given by Dan as our trio of journalists discussed the implications of a state-owned "activist investor".
Next up, Energy Voice editor Mark Selby spoke with renowned energy analyst Michael Liebreich in a pre-recorded interview.
While trying not to come across as a "Debbie Downer" on net zero, Liebreich said the UK needs to stop "chasing the Quixotic dream of Clean Power 2030" and embrace a more pragmatic approach. Finally, this episode wraps up on the University of Aberdeen's latest review, conducted by John Underhill. It is suggested by John that "bespoke" permits should be handed out to oil and gas developments located near existing infrastructure.
This raises some interesting questions at a time when the UK offshore regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority, is unable to hand out any licences while operators await the results of government consultation.
