Cleansorb appoints two new product support scientists
Cleansorb, a provider of chemical well treatments that enhance hydrocarbon production for the international oil and gas industry, appointed two new product support scientists to its product support team. The new scientists earned degrees in biomedical science and chemistry with nanotechnology, providing additional expertise to the Cleansorb team. The product support team is based at Cleansorb’s global headquarters in Guildford, England, where the new scientists work in the purpose-built wet lab with expert chemists and liaise with field engineers to formulate and further develop custom reservoir chemistry treatments, particularly for filter cake cleanup, stimulation and sand consolidation.
Recently, Cleansorb completed a series of well treatments in mature vertical wells in Canada that increased oil production by up to 250 percent from mature vertical wells. In the U.K., Cleansorb is helping a major operator to enhance recovery from a maturing offshore field.

Tonalli Energia awards contract to Simmons Edeco for drilling services in Mexico
SIMMONS EDECO, a supplier of onshore drilling and workovers, wellhead maintenance services and asset integrity solutions to the global oil and gas industry, announced it has been awarded a contract by Tonalli Energia S.A.P.I. de C.V to provide drilling services in Mexico. The contract engages SIMMONS EDECO to support Tonalli’s onshore oil and gas development Block 24. The Block, known as Tecolutla, is in the Tampico-Misantla Basin in the Mexican state of Veracruz. SIMMONS EDECO will drill the horizontal well 2310 TVD to a measured depth of 3,750 meters by using Rig 836, which recently drilled a number of wells on the Amatitlan block in Mexico. To support the Tonalli contract, SIMMONS EDECO will draw upon specialist personnel and equipment located at its base in Poza Rica, Mexico.
This drilling project represents the first time the company will work on behalf of Tonalli Energia, a joint venture between Mexican petrochemical company Grupo IDESA and Canadian oil and gas company International Frontier Resources.
