The agreement will help fast-track innovation and streamline the adoption of applied technologies in areas such as marine robotics, advanced sensing, artificial intelligence and autonomous systems to address the industry’s challenges to improve safety, cost-efficiency and sustainability.

“Digitalization will support Shell to become a world-class investment case by improving our productivity, reliability and performance as well as reducing the costs of our assets,” Christian George, Shell vice president of Wells, Deep Water and Surface Engineering Technology, said. “We are delighted to extend our strong operational partnership with Subsea 7’s Life of Field business unit into the area of technology development."
