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.

With evolving targets and techniques, the digital landscape is quaking. Are you cyber-ready for the threats?
-
Morag Watson, senior vice president of digital science and engineering at BP, reveals how a data-driven approach can add a different dimension and where BP is on the digital curve.
-
As current sources of competitive advantage erode and new ones emerge, perhaps the only constant in a highly uncertain world is the criticality of good talent for success. Upskilling the workforce for analytics, therefore, needs to be a one of the top priorities as we sail unchartered waters.
