My name is Tony Hord. I have recently retired from ExxonMobil Corporation after thirty-five and a half years of service. I am honored, humbled, and blessed to be here today as a keynote speaker for this session of the 2021 ALRDC Gas Lift Workshop.
 
I have been blessed with having had an exciting and wonderful career in the petroleum industry. My career and successes are the sum of all the education, training, experiences and most importantly people that I have known and that have befriended me throughout the years.
 
Today I would like to impart my thoughts and views on my career and the future of Dynamic Gas Lift. Dynamic is defined as constant change, activity, or progress, a force that stimulates change or progress within a system or process. Dynamic Gas Lift is where I believe we are today, gas lift constantly changing, improving, and progressing.
