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.

Most people would agree that society’s first challenge is to shift the world toward a new energy paradigm based on technologies that do not contribute to climate change. But the cold evidence leaves little doubt that this transition is taking longer than we hoped. Consequently, the other challenge is that we need to actively reduce the emissions of the legacy assets t…
