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 utility of mud gas data so far has been limited to fluid typing, formation evaluation, and interwell geological and petrophysical correlation. The ongoing digital transformation has presented the opportunity to increase the utility of, and get more value from, the abundant and rich mud gas data. This article raises the question of whether getting more from mud gas…
