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 research addresses the bottlenecks experienced in supply-chain management (SCM) in an African hydrocarbon company. These bottlenecks slow down processes and make the procedures tedious, leading to operational inefficiencies. This paper discusses the security of the SCM data and the overall automation of the procurement value chain, providing transparency to the s…

Large geological models are needed for modeling the subsurface processes in geothermal, carbon-storage, and hydrocarbon reservoirs. The size of these models contributes to the computational cost of history matching, engineering optimization, and forecasting. To reduce this cost, low-dimensional representations need to be extracted. Deep-learning tools, such as autoenc…
