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.

Skipping one traditional step in the supply chain might save oil and gas companies hundreds of millions of dollars a year while making a meaningful dent in emissions. -
A Canadian company reports that it has drilled and completed a historic horizontal well in Saskatchewan.
-
Electrically powered completions equipment takes another step toward greater sector adoption with the announcement of this new agreement.
-
The first delivery of shale gas in the UAE marks a major milestone toward its goal of reaching 1 Bcf/D by 2030. It also signals the expansion of hydraulic fracturing in the UAE’s conventional fields.
-
In 2013, a technology-development project began that digitized, automated, and applied analytics to blowout preventer pressure testing. As a result of the deployment of automated BOP testing, significant improvements have been achieved in process safety, personal safety, and rig-time savings.
-
Wellbore tortuosity is a term that has steadily increased in relevance to the oil and gas industry over the past decade, but its importance is especially clear in the current environment.
-
Groups of wells communicate, interfere, and hit each other. It is an unruly scene that can offer benefits. Three stories look at why competing fracture networks can add to the production from rock that might otherwise be missed.
-
The complete paper describes an experimental study performed to investigate the onset of liquid loading in a 6-in. production casing at various inclination angles.
-
This paper discusses a new, comprehensive cuttings-transport model designed to enable safe and improved hole-cleaning operations.
-
New regulations have recently commenced with the effect that all onshore oil and gas exploration and production proposals involving hydraulic fracturing in Western Australia now will need to be referred to the Environmental Protection Authority for assessment.
