Shell is using artificial intelligence to accelerate its energy transition and reduce carbon emissions. The company is achieving this through faster simulations, improved carbon capture and storage evaluations, and other practical applications.
The energy sector is at a crucial point in history. As the world addresses the urgent need to decrease emissions while meeting increasing energy demands, artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool in this transformation. Shell , with its long history in energy production, is leading the way in utilizing AI to reshape both traditional operations and future energy solutions.
'AI is not a solution, but it can help us accelerate the energy transition and reduce CO2 emissions,' explains Dan Jeavons, VP of Digital Innovation at Shell. This pragmatic yet ambitious approach is already producing remarkable results across various areas. One significant achievement in Shell's AI journey is the dramatic acceleration of scientific simulations. Collaborating with NVIDIA, Shell has achieved what seemed improbable just a few years ago: running complex energy simulations up to a million times faster than traditional methods. Marc Spieler, Senior Managing Director at NVIDIA, explains, 'Being able to simulate thousands or millions of years, which usually takes years to simulate and process in traditional high-performance computing, ... allows us to really look at how we're going to handle the significant amount of emissions that are coming from everything.' For example, Shell has developed AI machine learning models that can study carbon dioxide storage in subsurface reservoirs approximately 100,000 times faster than conventional physics-based simulations. This breakthrough allows them to more quickly evaluate different geologies, injection rates, and pressures for carbon capture and storage projects during the screening phase - a crucial element in achieving net-zero goals. Shell is pushing the boundaries of AI beyond simulations into practical applications
