Ranger Energy Expands US Footprint With American Well Services Acquisition

Ranger acquires American Well Services for $90.5 million, adding 39 workover rigs and boosting its fleet by 25%.

Transfer learning workflow showing the use of the physics-based trained backbone as the starting point for feature transfer (adjust only end layers and keep initial parameters frozen) and fine tuning (retrain entire network) with new data.

Transfer-Learning Validation Improves Hydraulic Fracture Design

In this third work in a series, the authors conduct transfer-learning validation with a robust real-field data set for hydraulic fracturing design.
