We will be in person on July 19 and July 20. Join data and artificial intelligence leaders for talks and opportunities to network. Today is the day to register.
There are a lot of reasons to use data and artificial intelligence.
The oil and gas industry is at a crossroads due to increased energy demands and connected environments. Shell can either follow the status quo or embrace a low-carbon energy future.
Maintaining end-to-end processes at scale is one of the things that needs to be done during the transition to a more distributed energy system. It's important that solutions can be deployed quickly around the world. Shell has had to become a technology company powered by artificial intelligence.
The Open Ai Energy Initiative was founded last November by Shell, Baker Hughes, Microsoft, and C3 Artificial Intelligence.
Register HereDan Jeavons is the vice president of computational science and digital innovation at Shell. It allows them to create standards that will allow them to adopt digital technology and reach net- zero emissions in the future.
To achieve a 50% reduction in scope one and two emissions by the year 2030.
Digital technology is one of the levers Shell is using to speed up the energy transition. While we need to transform a lot of hardware to change the energy sector, we can use the data we have today to transform the system.
Shell has implemented several artificial intelligence initiatives over the years, including using reinforcement learning in its exploration and drilling program and installing computer vision-enabled cameras at service stations.
The Shell.ai Residency programme allows data scientists and engineers to gain experience working on a variety of artificial intelligence projects.
Every year, Shell deploys around 100 artificial intelligence applications into production. There is a central community of more than 350 artificial intelligence professionals who are designing solutions using vast pools of data.
Jeavons said that reliability and safety are essential. It has been a priority for us to be able to identify when things are going wrong.
Shell has been able to use artificial intelligence to enhance their existing monitoring techniques.
According to Jeavons, it has over 10,000 pieces of equipment currently being monitored by artificial intelligence, including valves and compressors to dry gas seals, instrumentation and pumps.
These predictions were made using physics-based models. The company used to replace parts after a certain amount of time. Parts were often replaced when they were in good shape. Wait until something didn't work was an alternative strategy. Assets need to be temporarily shut down for repairs.
The company has been able to lower equipment and maintenance costs through the use of artificial intelligence.
Tom Siebel, CEO of C3 Artificial Intelligence, said that there are a lot of issues surrounding artificial intelligence.
He said building machine learning models is easy. It's difficult to put two million machine learning models in production.
Shell's data scientists could analyze thousands of data points at the same time with a proactive technical monitoring approach.
The data is used by the team to understand what normal behavior is for equipment like compressors, valves and pumps. We come up with forecasts of what normal is going to be in the future. We can identify when normal conditions are no longer occurring by looking at the forecast.
Shell has developed applications that use artificial intelligence. Jeavons says that the company is laser focused on improvement.
"This means we can identify ways of producing more efficiently, generating more output for the same cost and more importantly, we can also look at the CO2 footprint of these processes and start to adjust accordingly."
He said that Shell is looking at how artificial intelligence can be used to monitor methane levels and carbon capture.
Making our existing business more efficient and effective is one of the things that these ventures involve.
