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.

This article presents the application of a reinforcement learning control framework based on the Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient. The crack propagation process is simulated in Abaqus, which is integrated with a reinforcement learning environment to control crack propagation in brittle material. The real-world deployment of the proposed control framework is also dis… -
While master data management is crucial for maintaining data integrity and supporting business processes, it often goes ignored in mid- to large-size oil and gas companies. Most think that implementing robust enterprise resource planning will solve all master data problems. They find they are sorely mistaken when, after investing millions of dollars in a new accountin…
