Shell Catalysts & Technologies integrates refinery catalysts with petrochemical technology to process crude oil into chemicals. Shell Catalysts & Technologies鈥� affiliates in the Shell group that are owner-operator at a number of refineries have allowed the research team unique insights into holistic product maximisation in crude-to-chemicals operations. 

Shell Catalysts & Technologies鈥� strengths reside in supporting both refining and petrochemical operations, including at many Shell affiliate sites that operate integrated complexes. This access has permitted collaboration around leveraging new catalyst and process technology developments.

Over the years, it has also provided site flexibility in producing fuels, lubricants, and chemical products as market demands shift. As the future picture emerges around the concept of converting more crude oil molecules into petrochemical feedstocks, our ability to help our customers visualize the possibilities by discussing application of catalyst and process optimizations can lead to some valuable co-created solutions.

Process Technologies for Oil to Chemicals

Petrochemical plant operators are seeing new capacity expected to come into the market in the near future. To position operators to thrive in this environment, Shell Catalysts & Technologies is leveraging refinery-petrochemical integration to increase operational and economic gains.

Using refinery technology in petrochemical operations allows for the optimisation of catalyst processing and energy savings due to this feedstock cycle, effectively improving return on investment. Petrochemicals facilities can transform gas and liquid hydrocarbons to a wider range of petrochemical products. Feedstocks used to produce these chemicals (like LPG, naphtha, and gasoil) are often from refineries. Additionally, byproducts from petrochemical throughput like C4s, pygas, pyoil, and hydrogen are feedstocks required by refineries.
