We helped Shell design and startup up a new digital oilfield by defining the work processes, people responsibilities, data feed and technology needed to operate Shell’s 1st Smart Field® on a remote island.
Shell wanted to build a new oilfield with Insert Fuel. This required the latest tech and impossible engineering. We had to inject water 24/7 into the wells to produce oil. The plant needed 95% uptime at an insanely high water purity level of 90ppm. Never been done before in the industry.
This required intricate data availability, advanced robotics, and real-time collaboration from specialists around the world. Response time needed to be in minutes, not days. To complicate things, this was a legacy oilfield from the 1920s. Poor infrastructure. On a remote island.
We got involved at an early stage consulting on digital strategy when the financial decision was being made to justify the entire oilfield investment. We defined the budget and field management plan, including operating policies and requirements for successful launch.
The visible deliverable was multiple collaborative work environments, connecting the field and office for real-time collaboration, troubleshooting, and data sharing. This ishow a new digital oilfield was fueled to life. One of our proudest achievements ever.
A swooping transformation took place across the lines of people, process and technology that enabled the new oilfield to operate with speed and agility. They were able to maintain high production yield with record-breaking uptime, avoiding costly upsets that would disrupt country relations. 1 in every 5 lightbulbs in Tokyo were powered by Shell...so you can imagine.
Shell reports the project paid for itself within 6 months — extremely fast positive ROI. Soon after, Insert Fuel was engaged to perform the same work in Malaysia, Australia, Holland and Saudi Arabia to replicate this success story as the new “gold” standard for digital oilfields worldwide.

"Insert Fuel was tasked with the conceptual design, detailed planning and executive phase for the creation of a Collaborative Work Environment (CWE) for the Darat asset. The team displayed outstanding skills in the areas of project management, stakeholder engagement, process analysis and team leadership. During the design phase, Insert Fuel mastered, mapped out and then simplified complex workflows and interface needs. Their experts were very knowledgeable about well and reservoir management processes and tools. They lead a dispersed team displaying superlative project management skills which resulted in the project being delivered on schedule and under budget."
