The Artificial Lift Company Ltd. (ALC) is pleased to announce the
promotion of Dr. Hassan Mansir to Vice President of Engineering and
Technology.

Dr. Mansir has been with ALC since early 2009 as design manager. In his
new role, Dr. Mansir will be responsible for all ALC engineering and
technology development. Dr. Mansir will apply his rich experience in the
aerospace and energy industries as he continues to oversee the growth of
the design department and enhancement and expansion of the company’s
permanent magnet motor range.

Phil Head, technology director for ALC, said, “Hassan brings a wealth of
experience from the aerospace industry where compact, highly reliable
permanent magnet motors are increasingly being used. He will lead the
continued development and enhancement of our own range of motors at
Artificial Lift Co., which will bring new levels of reliability to
oilfield electric submersible pumps.”

The ALC motors developed in Dr. Mansir’s technology group utilize the
same advanced design tools as permanent magnet motors used on the Boeing
Dreamliner and the Airbus A380 airplanes. The motor line, which was
developed before Dr. Mansir’s arrival, has to survive arduous testing
programs and is ideally suited for use in ESPs.

With more than 25 years’ industrial experience, across a number of
sectors including energy and aerospace, Dr. Mansir holds 11 patents in
the area of electrical machines, controls and power electronics. He has
amassed extensive experience in the manufacture and design of electric
machines, power electronics and systems.

“Hassan’s expertise in motor design is almost unrivalled in the industry
and has brought major benefits to Artificial Lift Co.,” said ALC
President Geoff Kimber-Smith. “Hassan’s time at ALC has been immensely
successfully and his knowledge of magnet motors has allowed us to
continue the development of our own industry-leading range. Hassan’s
promotion will ensure a smooth transition from the engineering stage to
manufacturing process and allow for continuous development of ALC’s
next-generation motors.”

Dr. Mansir has an Engineering Doctorate from Institut Polytechnique de
Grenoble and Ecole Centrale de Lyon France.
