Collaborative Work Environments (CWEs) were implemented in the majority of Shell's assets, now covering over 55% of the production. Collaborative working has evolved beyond production and surveillance processes, includes new mobility and visualization technologies and supports the cost reduction drive.

The paper provides:

  • Business Value and Lessons Learnt from global CWE deployment;

  • Examples from three assets in different countries and environments;

  • Evolution of the collaboration model;

  • Use of new technologies in mobility, visualisation and exception based surveillance.
