Offshore/subsea systems
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.
This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
This paper describes the potential of combined-cycle technology (use of a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to turn fuel into electricity) in offshore carbon-capture applications.

This paper is a summary of a study that covers through-life economics for producing green hydrogen from offshore fixed wind turbines. -
The authors of this paper present the results of an assessment of two regions in Uruguay suitable for bottom-fixed offshore wind technologies.

Over a 10-year period, sensors monitoring the motion and loads near subsea wellheads have been mounted on more than 300 drilling campaigns. Integrity parameters were calculated to assess whether subsea conductors provided the intended amount of support during drilling operations. In several of these campaigns, loss of conductor support due to integrity issues was obse…
