INNOVATION AT SHELL
1.

Global demand for energy is rising, driven by growing

population with rising living standards.

2.

Thousands of Shell scientists, researchers and engineers

are working to develop tomorrows ground-breaking
solutions, collaborating with experts and specialists
beyond our industry.

3.

Making the most of the resources

4.

NATURAL GAS

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

Technology for the world's first commercial LNG plant in

Arzew, Algeria in 1964

Natural gas could form a bigger part of the transport energy

mix as a lower carbon fuel, alongside developments in

vehicle efficiency, bio fuels, hydrogen and electric mobility
The cleanest-burning hydrocarbon, have the potential to

create an energy supply revolution around the world helping

to meet growing energy demand.

 By moving production and processing offshore, we can

bring new energy resources that are too uneconomic or

challenging to develop from land within reach
GTL products are colourless and odourless. They contain

almost none of the impurities sulphur, aromatics and

nitrogen that are found in crude oil

DEEP WATER
There could be around 270 billion barrels of recoverable oil alone in

deep water worldwide, according to the International Energy Agency

A non-profit consortium with eight other oil and gas companies to

enhance drilling safety and minimise the environmental impact of a

potential underwater well incident
Challenges:
Anti freeze
Pressure boosters
Storm safe

 Partnering

with The Nature Conservancy, a nongovernmental organisation, to create artificial oyster reef
beds

GOING UNDERGROUND
Oil and gas are held in porous rocks like water in a sponge,

often in pockets spread over a large area.

Advanced technologies to look beneath land and seas for

increasingly hard-to-find energy resources that can help

meet the worlds growing demand
The main challenge for the industry is how to obtain the

best images in the shortest time, more cost-effectively

 Seismic reflection imaging remains the most widely-used

geophysical technique in hydrocarbon exploration

GEOSIGNSTM visualisation software
Monitoring production - Seismic sensors

ENVIRONMENT & SOCIETY

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Delivering energy in a responsible way to meet the worlds

growing needs
Essential to the longevity of business and the role as a

member of society
Levels
Running a safe, efficient, responsible and profitable

business
Sharing wider benefits where they operate
Helping to shape a more sustainable energy future

ENVIRONMENT
Aim to limit any impact on the environment and support the
transition towards a lower-carbon future
Environmental standards
Managing emissions of greenhouse gases;
Using less energy more efficiently;
Flaring and burning off less gas during oil production;
Preventing spills and leaks of hazardous materials;
Using less fresh water
Conserving biodiversity wherever we operate

 Ship quality assurance standard - Tankers and barges to

have double hulls

Natural gas businesses give governments the option to reduce

emissions from electricity, by replacing coal

Have wind business with over 1,000 megawatts of capacity
Invested heavily in the lowest-carbon bio fuel
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) to shipping and trucking

customers
Long-time supporter of government-led carbon pricing

mechanisms

Air quality
Limit emissions of nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide and volatile

organic compounds
1990 - The first companies to produce ultra-low sulphur diesel

on a commercial scale
Invested more than $1 billion to produce a wider choice of

lower sulphur fuels for ships and heavy vehicles

LNG for use as ocean and land transport fuel

Fresh water
Alternatives - recycled water, processed sewage water and

desalinated water
At the gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in the Qatari desert, industrial

process water is cleaned and reused

At Pulau Bukom, recycled water and converted sea water is used

for steam generation at the refinery and process water is reused

Technology centre in Bangalore - Most advanced water research

laboratories
Wetsus,

top water research organisation - ultra-fine porous

membranes to separate salt from seawater

 University of Oxford in the UK - Water fingerprinting

A technology to determine the origin, history and quality of

water samples from beneath the surface their fingerprints
In the Omani desert, reed beds are being used to naturally clean

water produced as oil extracted, before it evaporates

Global Water Award, - 2011 by former United Nations

Secretary-General Kofi Annan

Biodiversity
First in the energy industry to launch a biodiversity standard, back

in 2001
Work with several conservation organisations - Restoring natural

marshlands near the Majnoon operations in Iraq

Develop a biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods action plan
Collaboration with governments, non-governmental organisations
Help Philippines to conserve part of the worlds most biodiverse

marine environment - The Coral Triangle
