Shell has demonstrated drone-in-a-box operations from its Mars floating production unit, becoming the first operator in the region to secure FAA approval for self-approved offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights. JPT Senior Technology Editor Jennifer Pallanich visited Shell Technology Center Houston to see the system in action.
Panelists at the SPE Subsea Well Intervention Symposium discussed where AI is delivering value today, where risks remain, and how engineers can best determine its usefulness.
As digital technologies become commonplace, industry leaders say core engineering knowledge remains essential for making informed decisions and avoiding costly mistakes.

AltaML has announced a partnership with engineering and design firm Kleinfelder in which the two companies will pair 3D reality scans of facilities with artificial intelligence to look for potential problems and risks. -
Researchers with the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping at the University of Houston are creating a set of algorithms that would allow users to more-precisely align data sets collected at different times and reliably estimate changes between images captured at different times.

In partnership with TechnipFMC, DNV GL opened a pilot project for the international collaboration of operators and the supply chain. Many digital twins represent an asset’s initial form and struggle to reflect developments in their physical counterparts as the asset matures.
-
Many reviews of unsuccessful digital-transformation projects point to the lack of the proper organizational culture for the adoption of digital oilfield solutions. What is the right organizational culture for a data-driven enterprise?
-
When the world reopens, it will be flooded with the opportunities and tools that extended-reality platforms have to offer.

SponsoredTo optimize decision-making, minimize risk, and create value, oil and gas companies can turn to liberated, contextualized data. For exploration or drilling, liberated, contextualized data can help the upstream industry make trustworthy decisions that save time and costs. This paper explains how.
