Invensys signs technology agreement with Shell
February 2012
News
Invensys Operations Management has announced that it has signed a multiyear, multimillion dollar contract to deliver comprehensive software solutions and services to Shell.
Under a new corporate enterprise licence, Invensys will provide a suite of its SimSci-Esscor simulation solutions to improve Shell’s global upstream, downstream and petrochemicals production, helping it to achieve operational excellence. A critical part of the agreement will be Invensys’ ROMeo solution, an integrated software platform for simulation, data reconciliation, optimisation and operations decision support. Invensys will also supply its PRO/II, PipePhase and DynSim software, along with several other software solutions, training and support services. The agreement allows Shell access to Invensys software packages on a global basis within Shell’s IT infrastructure, enabling enhanced use of simulation software across all Shell business units.
“Shell needed cost-effective, flexible access to our open simulation and optimisation software across its global organisation without any restrictions,” said Tobias Scheele, vice president, advanced applications, Invensys Operations Management. “We have been working with Shell and providing them service and solutions for more than 30 years. This corporate enterprise licence strengthens our long-standing relationship. Shell will use our SimSci-Esscor ROMeo optimisation software and our other family of simulation and modelling solutions to deliver increased value around the globe, helping them to achieve operational excellence in real-time.”
Invensys Operations Management’s ROMeo software provides a unified modelling environment for off-line and on-line optimisation. In use at dozens of upstream facilities, refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants worldwide, the software supplies a scalable environment for optimising all major units, as well as other aspects of plant profitability, such as utilities and instrument/equipment performance. Additional benefits are derived from leveraging the rigorous predictive models to enhance planning and scheduling decisions, leading to increased margins.
