Shell sails ahead without UK shale

Extracts from an article by Andrew Critchlow published in The Sunday Telegraph on 6 July 2014

Screen Shot 2014-02-10 at 16.29.29Shale gas is likely to play an increasingly important role in powering Britain’s growth but don’t expect the country’s largest oil and gas company, Royal Dutch Shell, to help create a fracking-led energy revolution. Andrew Brown, director of upstream international business and the man responsible for the main revenue-generating side of Britain’s most valuable company, is sceptical about the potential for shale oil and gas development in Britain. Outside North America, Shell’s main focus on what Brown calls “unconventional” oil and gas is in China and Russia. The company is also looking at Ukraine and drilling in Turkey, but using North America as a benchmark, the UK is nowhere near the Anglo-Dutch company’s list of viable prospects.

    Good morning, my name is Rodrigo Passos, I am a Civil Engineer student on the Brazilian college Pitagoras. My studies about the petroleum extracted from Canada’s sand have shown that the company has a big problem with the pipes that transports the sand with petroleum. This transport pipes are always piercing and stopping all of your companies’ production and not even the best logistics can predict when this is going to happen, even when changing the pipe that was just pierced another one can pierce soon after restarting all of the companies’ production processes, causing large amounts of loss. I have the solution for this not to happen anymore, through responsible development based on goals of production and safety, such as environmental protection practices, my system will warn exactly which pipe shall be changed with a lead of time that may be vital for the company, cause with my system a pipe can wait for a very long time without spilling a single drop of petroleum and not stopping the production until fixed.

    This system will increase even more the trust of investors and environmental government organs, cause this system will make sure that your equipment work efficiently without unexpected errors, giving time for the maintenance teams to get ready for months before repairing a pipe, this way avoiding any unexpected stops on the company work, also this way the maintenance teams can determine adequate previous maintenance actions and the time for them, with emphasis on financial and environmental risks. This system was developed to find the root of the error in the exact moment it happens, allowing investigation to develop the long term solution for the root of the problem giving efficient conditions for the maintenance teams to provide the necessary solutions for the repairs in less time, contributing in many ways for the realization of your goals of production and safety, and the environmental protection practices.
    can be applied in all kinds of industrial pipes
