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 pressure pumping business has been looking up this year, but the price paid to buy a big player in that business, FTS International, suggests growth may not last. -
The deal represents what will become the second deployment of an all-electric fracturing fleet built by Halliburton and with power supplied by VoltaGrid's microgrid technology.
-
This paper presents lessons learned and best practices from several chemical sand-consolidation and sand-agglomeration treatments performed in mature fields in Malaysia.
-
Flow rate is a major challenge for geothermal. However, the techniques used in shale to prevent flow localization can be applied directly to geothermal. If we can create hundreds or thousands of flowing fracture pathways around a horizontal or deviated geothermal well, then we will have truly “changed the game.”
-
This paper presents the lessons learned from optimizing sand control and management strategies of an offshore sandstone oil field offshore Nigeria after multiple sanding events and well failures.
-
Friction reducers play multiple critical roles in fracturing. A challenge in selecting the best one for the job is the growing evidence that performance varies, but objective performance measurements are lacking.
-
Few industries contain as many phases, steps, and levels of interface between the start and end product as the oil and gas industry. It therefore is hardly surprising that communication, in all its varied forms, is at the very heart of our business.
-
Electric-powered fracturing fleets looked impressively resilient in 2020 amid what was otherwise a significant collapse for the hydraulic fracturing sector. Today, the situation is more complicated.
-
The paper describes an integrated work flow to apply autonomous inflow-control devices successfully in an offshore heavy-oil reservoir with significant uncertainty in remaining oil thickness and water/oil contacts.

SponsoredOriented perforating is an increasingly adopted practice for new well completions. But how to ensure these perforations are correctly aligned? Impact Selector’s Relative Bearing Tool focuses on downhole tool orientation and has an outstanding track record in identifying gun direction prior to shooting.
