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.

The paper showcases the digital journey of a brownfield where digital solutions are enhancing recoverable volume, production, and process efficiency while minimizing losses and maximizing the return of investment. -
SponsoredAs operators strive to increase production under tighter budgets, traditional downhole diagnostics are falling short—too costly, complex, and time-consuming. Seismos Acoustic Friction Analysis (SAFA) offers a smarter, surface-based alternative. This white paper explores how SAFA enables real-time treatment optimization, better fracture performance, and substantial cos…
