We all face new challenges and opportunities every day. Fluctuating safety and environmental regulations; heavier and more complex crudes; erosion of expertise with the exodus of experienced workforce members; and constant pressure for innovative new products are just a few. We are all seeking solutions that operationalise and optimise forward-thinking strategies.

Shell Global Solutions draws on its corporate heritage as the owner and operator of large plants around the world to provide clients in the oil and gas, petrochemical production and other processing industries with cutting-edge energy technology, catalysts, R&D expertise and business and operational consulting services. Crucially, our support does not end with the delivery of a report; we also provide implementation and change management assistance.

Are you finding that…

• when evaluating strategic investment opportunities, it is becoming increasingly difficult to take a robust view of the future market?
• investors are holding you to account for your emissions?
• during projects, managers come back for additional investments?
• projects have been derailed because the right people did not address the right issues at the right time?
• when your health, safety and environmental performance improves in one operational area, other problems emerge elsewhere?
• operational improvement initiatives fail to deliver the promised, targeted results?

We are constantly searching for opportunities to enhance value and achieve business objectives quicker, cheaper and more simply and efficiently. We encourage innovation in all business areas; for instance, we are researching new business models, techniques to retain and share knowledge, and ways of reducing the capital cost of major projects. Joining forces with others, including government partners, leading universities and private companies, is helping to accelerate the innovation process.

Shell Global Solutions licenses cutting-edge technologies as well as providing business and operational consultancy to help customers improve the capacity and performance of existing units; integrate new process units into existing refinery operations; incorporate advanced catalyst systems and reactor internals; and build new refineries. As our clients respond to the changing business environment, we provide extended services from initial consultancy and throughout all project phases.

We have more than 5,000 professionals, many of whom have operational and technical experience across a broad range of petrochemical processing and production industries. Their experience creates a deep level of understanding of our clients’ business challenges and enables us to provide effective solutions. We employ a diverse group of people in our operations in Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and North and South America and value the benefits this diversity brings. Our core values – honesty, integrity and respect for people – are central to our business relationships worldwide.
