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.

From optimizing drilling performance to enhancing worker safety, computer vision can change how the industry works.
-
Located 230 km south of Abu Dhabi, the onshore Shah field produces around 70,000 B/D of crude.
-
A new report from GlobalData provides an overview of the digitalization efforts within the industry and their potential to transform operations.
-
A recent survey conducted by Rackspace Technology reveals new attitudes about using the cloud, including a change from using the public cloud to using private, on-site clouds or a hybrid of the two.
-
This study examines the implementation of a predictive maintenance method using artificial intelligence and machine learning for offshore rotating production-critical equipment. Conducted over 2 years at Murphy Oil’s deepwater platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the project aimed to detect equipment issues early, reduce downtime, and streamline maintenance processes.
