UK-headquartered energy giant Shell is set on employing a cloud-based master data build and optimization software from ABL, part of the Oslo-listed energy consultancy group ABL Group, across various new projects to achieve asset management efficiencies.
To this end, Shell contracted ABL’s Effio, which is said to have the capability of achieving significant time and cost efficiencies for projects, to support a number of its large-scale newbuild developments, including LNG Canada , Crux , and Jackdaw . As part of the scope of work for Shell and ahead of further global deployment across new projects, the software has been deployed on LNG Canada and one of the oil major’s Canada-based shale gas projects where standard operate-phased master data management tools are not yet in place.
