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 new contract extends a decadelong relationship and expands the use of AI and digital twins. -
This paper presents a novel modeling framework for predicting residual oil saturation in carbonate rocks. The proposed framework uses supervised machine learning models trained on data generated by pore-scale simulations and aims to supplement conventional coreflooding tests or serve as a tool for rapid residual oil saturation evaluation of a reservoir.

The traditional method of inspecting tanks puts workers in danger. Using robots instead can keep workers out of harm’s way.
-
Surveillance technologies have undergone a revolution, reshaping how facilities, wells, and reservoirs are monitored. These advancements not only have increased the scale at which these technologies are deployed but also have led to an unprecedented influx of data. The sheer volume of data, however, poses a significant challenge to traditional analytical methods.

One hydraulic fracturing job can stimulate two wells, but economic success hinges on doing it in the right place for the right price.
-
You’ve heard of generative artificial intelligence, and odds are you’ve used it. But do you know how it works?
-
This paper describes the development of a comprehensive digital solution for well surveillance and field-production optimization for an offshore field consisting of four stacked reservoirs, each containing near-critical fluids.
