Ranger acquires American Well Services for $90.5 million, adding 39 workover rigs and boosting its fleet by 25%.
In this third work in a series, the authors conduct transfer-learning validation with a robust real-field data set for hydraulic fracturing design.
This paper describes development of a high-temperature water-based reservoir drill-in fluid using a novel synthetic polymer and customized with optimal chemical concentrations and sized calcium carbonate.
-
The authors of this paper describe a model-driven work flow developed for hydraulic fracturing design and execution that could be a resource for other shale plays with similar challenges worldwide. -
This paper presents a case study of integrated geomechanical and reservoir simulation with a developed fracture conductivity calculation work flow to evaluate well spacing and completions design.
-
The purpose of hydraulic fracture modeling is to improve engineering decision-making. Success requires practical knowledge, engagement with real data, theoretical understanding, and critical thinking. The payoff is tremendous.
-
The authors of this paper write that computationally coupled models enable swift, accurate, and engineered decision-making for optimal asset development.

Prior to proceeding with a contract to fulfil a rigless P&A campaign for Sasol in Mozambique, BiSN designed a field trial to prove the effectiveness of its bismuth plug technology. Although the technology had been used in 19 countries by BiSN for a variety of downhole applications, it had not yet been qualified for use in Mozambique.
-
BKV Corp. has combined bullhead and liner refracturing methods to create an approach called the hybrid expandable liner system.
-
A new study from Saudi Aramco shows that the answer to the industry's billion-dollar corrosion problem might be sitting in your medicine cabinet.
-
The authors of this paper describe a coating designed for enhanced erosion resistance for standard wire-wrapped screens that consists of ceramic or hard metal applied by plasma spraying.
-
With the higher adaptation of flow-control devices in recent years to improve flow segmentation and reduce the premature failure of sand control because of highly localized flow, flow-control-device implementation is becoming an integral part of sand-management strategy.
-
The authors of this paper propose an automated approach to sand prediction and control monitoring that improved operational efficiency by reducing time spent on manual analysis and the decision-making process in a Myanmar field.
