Shell’s Revolutionary Terminal and Logistics Planning System

Shell Case International.pdf

Shell Services International, Shell International Gas and Lanner have developed
a new simulation tool, ADGENT, that models producer and receiving terminals,
shipping logistics and shipping delivery programs for both liquid natural gas
(LNG) and crude oil. The tool is the most advanced of its kind inside or outside
of Shell. For the past 10 years, a predecessor to this tool has been used within
Shell International Gas and associated operating companies for LNG terminal
studies and logistics planning. The studies have shown impressive savings and
increases in revenues. In the past year alone, the tool’s use has benefited
existing and new projects by nearly $100 million.
