The purpose of the WRFM & Optimization is to provide a single, control framework for managing and operating Producing Assets in Shell. A team of dedicated professionals with over 500 years of combined experience in the digitalization of asset operations in the Energy Sector. The AMS framework describes a set of processes needed to organize asset management capabilities, ensuring that activities are performed consistently in a joined-up manner and systematically improved to deliver excellent sustainable business outcomes. It includes mandatory elements (through Standards and Manuals) and non-mandatory elements (through Recommended Practices), and should be used in conjunction with other Shell Control Framework requirements, for example the HSSE & SP Control Framework, Opportunity Realization Process (ORS) etc. The Surface Engineering Technology Platform is a combination of software tools, proprietary knowledge, and people to enable significant value generation through Advanced Technical Services (ATS) and software development for Shell’s New Energies, Upstream, Integrated Gas, and Downstream businesses. An Integrated Production System Model (IPSM) is designed to represent a fully integrated production system of reservoirs and their connections to common surface facilities via wells and flowlines.

The Surface Engineering, has the primary responsibility of supporting and upkeeping the Process Engineering Tools portfolio, in global Shell companies. The products are indispensable for process engineering activities in greenfield and brownfield projects, plant operations, revamps and troubleshooting process upsets. It actively collaborates with Shell businesses and project teams in developing, integrating and improving business solutions derived from the use of these Tools. The year-on-year "value" derived from the use of PE Tools is of the order of 50 Mln$/year.
