MPT: Production Technology Consulting,
Training & Mentoring since 2002

Stuart P. Hodgson

(MPT Founder & Owner)

Hi, I’m Stuart.

I entered the oil industry in 1985 as a BP petroleum engineer in the UK.

Two Operators later and, after learning various production-related aspects of the upstream oil industry, in 2002 I created Moon Production Technology.

During my 35+ years in the Upstream O&G industry I have lived and worked in more than 30 countries.

As a Consultant I support Clients with all aspects of well and Field production optimisation; I also advise on ESPs, gas lift, artificial lift method selection …and prepare detailed, technical procedures.

In addition to conducting technical studies, over the years I have taught and mentored many engineers how to apply Nodal Analysis to real-life situations and introduced them to Networks.

I pride myself on being able to present complex things in a simple manner… clear communication is at the heart of MPT Training.
