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 aim of this study is to incorporate detailed geological, petrophysical, and hydraulic fracturing models to better predict and mitigate the effects of interbench interactions.

In this case study, a geomechanics-based approach was used to create bridging and sealing at the fracture aperture using a biparticle self-degradable lost-circulation-fluid system.

The objective of this paper is to apply a developed workflow to determine the propped hydraulic fracture geometry in a horizontal multistage fractured well, incorporating production, pressure, and strain data.

Outstanding papers over the past year have addressed topics such as casing deformation, well spacing, frac-design optimization, proppant transport in the well or in fractures, integrating diagnostics from field trials, and exploring the effects of lateral length on production.

Operators from across the region met in Muscat to share how lessons from pilot programs are shaping cost, scale, and technology priorities across the region.

As reservoirs become more complex and economics tighter, the industry is shifting toward more-adaptive, data-informed, and targeted solutions. New research highlights innovative solutions that not only address technical limitations in existing designs but also enhance decision-making through digitalization and cross-disciplinary integration. The papers highlighted her…
