Artificial Intelligence

Shell has been an early adopter of artificial intelligence (AI), as it attempts to speed up its digital transformation. From machine learning to computer vision, deep learning to virtual assistants and autonomous vehicles to robotics, Shell has been focused on a range of technologies that have supported advances in AI.

What’s happening at Shell is pretty amazing. They have a very deliberate strategy of using AI, right across their operation… from the drilling operations to safety in… Shell Retail stations.

Shell has “the largest AI deployment that we are aware of anywhere in the world. Everybody else is kind of looking at it. These guys are rolling it out."

The new possibilities in working with data over the last few years are unlocking amazing opportunities in all aspects of what we do in the company. In one example, we can now forecast in many cases when a compressor is at risk of failure 24 or 48 hours in advance, which was not easy to do before despite all the instrumentation you have on these large and complex machines.
