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.

Feeding better battery storage with the energy produced by cleaner sources such as solar panels and wind turbines is not a new idea. But are good ideas enough? Or could AI be the answer to unlocking the true value of the next generation of solar and energy innovations? -
This paper shares details of 2 years of monitoring the first commingled updip smart water injector drilled in the Piltun area of the Piltun-Astokhskoye offshore oil and gas field.

A consortium of 20 organizations, REX-CO2, including research institutions, operators, and regulatory authorities, studied mature wells in two areas of the UK Continental Shelf. Subsurface data were evaluated and verified the wells’ potential suitability for both reuse and CO2 injection and storage.

So far, digital twins have focused mainly on mimicking small, well-defined systems. Integrated asset models, however, tend to address the bigger picture. In this video, Distinguished Lecturer Kristian Mogensen addresses whether we can take the best from both worlds, whether we need to, and how to go about developing such a technical solution.
