FRONTIER COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES
• Robotics: driving, flying, swimming, climbing. Where are
they and how do we control them ?
• Arctic & remote: how to create long-distance highbandwidth communication to extreme locations?
• Collaboration & commercialization: when to go from
spot-solutions to generic services ?
• Sensor networks: a hundred sensors is OK, a
thousand is a challenge, how about communicating
with a million?
Berry Mulder Global Program Leader Wireless

Technology for Process Facilities, Shell
MAXIMIZING OPERATING EFFICIENCY WITH TRACK
& TRACE SOLUTIONS
• Receive insight into some of the many challenges
facing supply chain operations in the Oil & Gas
industry today
• Through the application of a range of auto-ID (M2M)
technologies, achieve high fidelity, automated visibility

OPPORTUNITIES IN RISK REDUCTION THROUGH
APPLICATION OF ROBOTICS AND SENSORS FOR
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE IN
PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
• Rapid advances in robotic technology and sensors
enable new inspection strategies in principle to reduce
human exposure to confined spaces, thus increasing
safety.
• Examples of recent developments and applications
will be highlighted
• Although technology is rapidly developing substantial
barriers need to be overcome to enable real world
field applications on a significant scale.
• The Petrobot project, a recently started EU
subsidized project executed by a consortium led by
Shell, aims to speed up field deployment by
addressing key issues in market development.
• Possible ways forward and further opportunities will
be discussed.

HOW HAS TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
RAISED CONFIDENCE IN THE OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY'S FUTURE? - A LEADERSHIP VIEW
• Drawing on industry supported research this
presentation will offer insights into a number of areas:
• Period of flux and uncertainty - new technologies help
bring confidence
• Changing shape of the industry - new technologies
can be an entry route or an edge in shifting
landscapes
• Global opportunities bring local challenges - entering
new regions to test new technologies and facilitate
knowledge and expertise transfer brings
opportunities, but must be adapted to local conditions
• Information systems are used but not very effectively
– how can such systems be used to effectively
transfer knowledge within teams and across
locations?
• Visionary leadership is essential for the
implementation of new technologies - overcoming
challenges facing the industry requires leaders who
can encourage uptake of new technologies to
support challenging exploration whilst effectively
managing limited resources – both physical and talent
based
Prof. Rita Marcella, Dean of Faculty, Aberdeen
Business School, Robert Gordon University

throughout Africa
• Operating Intrinsically safe solutions for helicopter
crews in the North Sea
