Addressing the Energy-Water-Food challenge

Addressing the Energy-Water-Food challenge

  Webchat

By 2050, the population of Earth is likely to reach nine billion. As living standards improve, many will also rise out of poverty and live longer, healthier lives.

Yet the world’s growing prosperity will also put stresses on energy, water and food supplies - all of which are closely intertwined. Water is needed for almost all forms of energy production; energy is needed to treat and transport water; and both water and energy are needed to grow food.

Developing Arctic resources safely and responsibly

  Webchat

The Arctic is a unique environment and is home to indigenous people who depend on its resources for subsistence. Oil and gas reserves in the Arctic have been developed for decades and there is a huge potential for more. At Shell, we have been operating in the area for over 40 years and our work is centred on the safety of and respect for the local people and their environment. We also have a record of leading the development of technologies needed to overcome the challenges of developing oil and gas in the Arctic.

Using innovation to help meet the energy demand: solutions to extract more from existing fields

  Webchat

The world's demand for energy continues to grow due to population growth and improving standards of living.  At the same time, the days of "easy oil and gas" are over. To complement the drive to extract new resources in increasingly challenging environments it is also important to ensure that existing reservoirs yield their full potential.

The latest Shell Dialogues webchat explored the new technology solutions that exist to optimise output from established oilfields.

The transcripts are now available to download.
