Ranger acquires American Well Services for $90.5 million, adding 39 workover rigs and boosting its fleet by 25%.
Production from the Búzios field now tops 1 million B/D with six floating production systems in operation and more on the way.
Geophysicist Markos Sourial discusses advances in seismic imaging, the challenges of modern data processing, and what they mean for the next wave of subsurface professionals.

The acquisition adds well completions services for conventional and unconventional reservoirs. -
Houston-based startup Cemvita Factory is launching a project to produce near-zero-carbon gold hydrogen by injecting oil-eating microbes into depleted crude reservoirs.
-
The COVID-19 pandemic naturally has affected SPE meetings, causing many to be rescheduled or postponed indefinitely, but SPE papers continue to be a crucial source of technical knowledge. The selected papers explore simple and complex innovative approaches toward reservoir characterization to work around the absence of certain data.
-
The authors describe an integrated multiscale data methodology involving machine-leaning tools applied to the Late Jurassic Upper Jubaila formation outcrop data.
-
The authors describe a logging-while-drilling nuclear-magnetic-resonance method applied in Bohai Bay, China, as an alternative to radioactive source-porosity measurements.
-
The authors develop a collocated finite-volume method to study induced seismicity as a result of pore-pressure fluctuations.
-
This paper describes the application of a synthetic seismic-catalog-generation method followed by application of a neural network on a seismic data set for an oil-producing field in the North Sea.
-
This paper describes an integrated work flow developed for 3D seismic reservoir characterization of deep and thin layers without sufficient well data in a South China Sea formation.
-
The author writes that careful calibration of a common, simple rock physics model can provide valuable insights into reservoir and seal elastic properties.
-
Two well-test logging operations have been carried out for the first time in a conventional carbonate reservoir in safe operating conditions and with repeatable results.
