Shell Global Solutions business model

When you are investing in new assets, upgrading existing plant or enhancing operational performance, it is vital that you address your investors' concerns and give them long-term confidence in your business. In today's increasingly volatile and uncertain markets, initiatives such as these can present senior executives with conflicting challenges.

Have you ever asked yourself…

How can I make effective and efficient use of capital while simultaneously maximising asset performance?
How can I convince the bank’s risk committee that our proposed project will yield the stated return on investment?
How can I evaluate the strategic investment opportunity that is most robust in strategic, economic and technical terms?

Shell Global Solutions offers consulting services that are designed to help the executives of leading organisations to address the issues dominating their agendas and to achieve their strategic vision. For instance, we can help to plan and execute value-adding investments in grassroots facilities, and make a compelling case to investors. We also help customers to upgrade the performance and capacity of their existing assets, and work towards operational excellence.

We have supported some of the industry's biggest players with enterprise-wide operational-improvement programmes. This approach helped Colombia's Ecopetrol to implemented benefits of over $100 million per year ($1 a barrel of feed) by the end of a six-year refinery performance-improvement programme (see case study opposite).
