Unlocking energy with advanced technologies
The world will need a mix of energy resources to meet growing global demand. We are using advanced technologies to help unlock new resources of oil and gas responsibly, and to boost production from existing fields.
Seeing under the surface
Using sound waves and electromagnetic waves to create three-dimensional underground maps and help locate oil and gas.
Drilling
Innovative drilling technologies and techniques are helping us to unlock more oil and reduce costs.
Smart Fields
Combining digital information technology with the latest exploration, drilling and reservoir monitoring techniques to help produce more oil and gas.
Coal gasification
Shell technology can now turn virtually any coal – the world’s most abundant fossil fuel - into synthesis gas, a mix of hydrogen and carbon monoxide that burns as cleanly as natural gas.
