With operators under pressure to deliver more energy with fewer resources, predictable drilling performance is more important than ever. Discover how a unified digital workflow can turn drilling data into better decisions and consistent execution—providing the foundation for autonomous drilling and more predictable, profitable, and productive wells at scale.
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.

These papers provided insights and advances into field-operations automation, machine-learning-assisted petrophysical characterization, and fluid-distribution analysis in unconventional assets. -
This paper presents a complete digital workflow applied to several greenfields in the Asia Pacific region that leads to successful deep-transient-testing operations initiated from intelligent planning that positively affected field-development decisions.
-
This study introduces a cleanup- and flowback-testing approach incorporating advanced solids-separation technology, a portable solution, equipment automation, improved metallurgy, and enhanced safety standards.
-
The authors make the case that data science captures value in well construction when data-analysis methods, such as machine learning, are underpinned by first principles derived from physics and engineering and supported by deep domain expertise.
-
In this paper, the authors propose a regression machine-learning model to predict stick/slip severity index using sequences of surface measurements.
-
Located 230 km south of Abu Dhabi, the onshore Shah field produces around 70,000 B/D of crude.
-
A new report from GlobalData provides an overview of the digitalization efforts within the industry and their potential to transform operations.
-
A recent survey conducted by Rackspace Technology reveals new attitudes about using the cloud, including a change from using the public cloud to using private, on-site clouds or a hybrid of the two.
-
This study examines the implementation of a predictive maintenance method using artificial intelligence and machine learning for offshore rotating production-critical equipment. Conducted over 2 years at Murphy Oil’s deepwater platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the project aimed to detect equipment issues early, reduce downtime, and streamline maintenance processes.
