Shell International leverages cutting-edge technology, such as Elasticsearch, to maintain its competitive edge in the global energy sector, which encompasses both renewable and non-renewable projects. At ElasticON 2020, Johan Krebbers, Shell's general manager of Digital Emerging Technologies, highlighted the importance of Elasticsearch's flexibility, which allows Shell to comply with various data retention regulations and supports a range of data types crucial for the company's operations. Shell utilizes Elasticsearch for predictive maintenance, employing machine learning to anticipate equipment failures, thus minimizing downtime and optimizing operational efficiency. Additionally, machine vision solutions help detect leaks and emissions through automated monitoring, while natural language processing enables swift analysis of extensive subsurface data to enhance exploration and development. These technologies collectively assist Shell in increasing uptime, reducing costs, and advancing its mission to harness new energy sources.
