Shell has been a pioneer in the development and deployment of digital technologies for decades. Today, they have over 100 AI applications in various stages of development and deployment across their businesses; a data lake with trillions of rows of data and are monitoring thousands of pieces of equipment using machine learning across assets in upstream, downstream manufacturing and integrated gas.
Anyone can develop a small-scale proof of concept with a machine learning model that meets a specific local requirement. But, to make an impact and maintain it at scale, they needed to develop solutions which can be deployed globally at a fast pace. To do this, Shell has been standardising approaches and aligning on common data structures, platforms, tools, and ways of working across businesses.
In order to do that Shell has been partnering with some of the world’s best tech and cloud providers to accelerate and scale digitalisation across their business. They are working with companies like C3 AI, Microsoft and Baker Hughes to build on each other’s strengths to deliver the competitive and affordable technology, and to actively participate in the energy transition to lower carbon economies that can drive on low carbon energy systems.
