New Version Of XSPOC Debuts Production Aid

XSPOC optimization software includes a
preview of the ALLY™ digital solution.
Designed to become users' digital production
partner for the future, ALLY offers
a modern interface with user-friendly dashboards
and intuitive workflows, ChampionX
says. These features come alongside powerful
performance, enabling the software to ingest,
process and display more data than ever,
the company continues. It says the tool lets

ON
Autry C. Stephens, Endeavor Energy
Resources' founder and chairman, has
passed away. Those close to him recall
his humility, courage, determination and
resilience, and note that his vision and
discipline inspired people across decades.
Stephens received the Permian Basin
Petroleum Association's Top Hand Award
and the Wildcatter Award from the Midland
Wildcat Committee, and he is a
member of the Petroleum Hall of Fame.
He began his career with Humble Oil
and Refining Co. in 1962 before joining
the Army Corps of Engineers, where he
oversaw pipeline fuel installations. Following
his military service, Stephens
rejoined Humble for five years, then
worked as a reservoir engineer for a
bank in Midland.
In 1979, he stepped out as a sole
proprietor, strategically purchasing
mineral rights and drilling vertical
wells one by one. As others fled the
market during downturns, he would
buy leaseholds and consummate corporate
acquisitions. Stephens purchased
and integrated multiple service companies,
securing steady access to services
and lower costs for drilling and
production operations.
In 2000, Stephens transformed his
sole proprietorship into Endeavor. The
company initially focused on drilling
vertical Midland Basin Spraberry Trend
wells but has become one of the basin's
top-tier horizontal operators.
