Floating production 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 (BVLOS) flights. JPT Senior Technology Editor Jennifer Pallanich visited Shell Technology Center Houston to see the system in action and learn how autonomous dro…
