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.
