Ranger acquires American Well Services for $90.5 million, adding 39 workover rigs and boosting its fleet by 25%.
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 aim of this study is to incorporate detailed geological, petrophysical, and hydraulic fracturing models to better predict and mitigate the effects of interbench interactions.

The US-based drilling contractor and well completions company will combine to form the second-biggest service company in North America. -
The first long-haul overland conveyor system to deliver proppant is under construction in the Permian Basin.
-
This paper describes efforts at the Hydraulic Fracturing Test Site 2 to collect a research data set to improve understating of spatial and temporal hydraulic fracture dimensions, proppant distribution, and reservoir depletion.

Coiled tubing has a key role to play, with strong arguments for itself: It is used throughout the life of a well, from exploration to abandonment, and its flexibility of use, combined with recent technology developments in pipe materials, real-time downhole telemetry, and specialized downhole tools—just to name a few—opens avenues to perform in a rigless manner many o…
-
This study illustrates how a combination of a straddle-packer system and a downhole real-time telemetry successfully stimulated up to 38 stages while maintaining packer-seal integrity and downhole pressure.
-
This paper presents an integrated system for fracturing optimization using real-time and historical data along with organizational knowledge and the challenges and key considerations of implementing such a system.
-
This paper describes the analysis of actual performance data for acid fracturing in a tight carbonate formation to investigate the ineffectiveness of the process.
-
The authors of this paper describe an underbalanced coiled-tubing drilling campaign in the operator’s onshore fields using a closed-loop system design.
-
The authors describe a casing-leak-repair alternative to allow continued hydraulic fracturing of an unconventional formation.
-
The authors describe coiled tubing operations that used a riser on a monohulled vessel already performing riserless interventions.
