LIFE AT SHELL.  Chris Justin, Process Engineer

[Visuals]

Features Chris Justin in various office and plant settings in and around the refinery – looking at computer screens and reporting, discussing issues with colleagues and experts, walking around monitoring situations and even in recreational activities outside of the workplace.

[Narrator]

A process engineer is essentially a doctor for a refining unit.  You come in and every single day, you perform a check-up.  You take a look at your computer screens; you look at your pressures, your temperatures, your flow rates and you make sure that everything’s in order.

I’m a member of the enhanced problem-solving team and on that team, we take long-standing issues and we try and work them through.  You essentially get to sit in a room with experts from all different disciplines.  You are given a general problem and you sit down together and say, “Well, how do I fix this?” – which is a lot of fun.

Safety is at the foremost of my mind when solving a problem.  You know that decisions that you make will have an impact on not just peoples’ livelihoods but peoples’ lives.  Every single day that I come in that I don’t understand a problem, I’m able to talk to some expert to find a better understanding of how things work.  That’s a great feeling.

[Text displays]

DISCOVER

[Narrator]

I think Shell does an extremely good job at allowing people to discover their strengths.  Coming out of school you learn how to solve problems but you don’t really know what engineering is and being at a site – being at a refinery – you really learn that hands-on.

New Orleans is a very welcoming city and everyone just brings you into their family pretty much immediately.  I’ve got a ton of great friends in New Orleans now.

My name is Chris Justin.  I’m a Process Engineer for Shell at Norco, Louisiana.

Life at Shell.  Albert Kelly, Maintenance Execution Manager

[Visuals]

Features Albert Kelly driving, close-up speaking to the interviewer, taking a phone call, conducting meetings and in various office and plant settings in and around the plant. Towards the end of the videos are beautiful outdoor and park and recreational scenes around New Orleans.

[Narrator]

My basic role is to make sure that equipment is available to run the facility.  To do that, I need to make sure that all the procedures and policies that we have in place are being followed, and that I have the right personnel doing that…

[Text displays]

TOGETHER

[Narrator]

…and make sure that they’re doing what we expect them to do.

I was in the Marines for eight years and you would not survive if you didn’t have teamwork. 

You have to develop management skills so that the people working under you are held accountable and that they’re responsible and they have the right training to understand what they need to do to get their job done. 

When I came to Shell, one of the first things I did was to establish my team - by leading that team and making them understand what I was about, and understanding what my values were.  My goal for my group is to make sure that I keep it in front of them what our real purpose is:…

[Text displays]

IMPACT

[Narrator]

…To keep this equipment running, and to keep the refinery up.

My work definitely has an impact.  It’s one of the reasons why I came here.  Shell gave me the opportunity to come over here and to perform the job that I wanted to do…

PROPEL

[Narrator]

…Now I can manage my own career.  I can actually decide where I want to go next, and how I’m going to get there. 

I have probably 300 to 400 guys that report to me on a daily basis.  I want everybody that comes to work to be happy.  I want you to come to work to say “I love doing this job.”  I do that every day.

Family life in New Orleans is great.  My kids love it – they wouldn’t have it any other way.  That’s a good feeling. 

My name is Albert Kelly.  I’m a Maintenance Execution Manager at Shell Norco near New Orleans.

LIFE AT SHELL.

[Narrators]

0:09        If you would have asked me 3½ years ago what I would be doing,

0:12       I would never have said oil and gas.

0:14        Instead of going in opposite directions,

0:16       they'll be parallel. - Oh, really?

0:18        Shell is looking for future leaders.

0:21        I like this statement.

0:26        I am responsible for the development

0:29        and blending of bespoke fuels and lubricants products

0:32        that we provide to the Ferrari Formula 1 team.

0:34        This is the GTL 4, meaning four centistokes at 100 degrees C.

0:37        That's correct.

0:38        It gives me a wide range of opportunities to work in challenging projects

0:43        and in stuff that really matters.

0:45        This is the flow line, where oil flows.

0:48        My role is to speak with geologists and the geophysicists

0:51        that actually look at the earth and tell us whether this could be an area of interest.

0:56        And then, on top of that, my role would be to discuss with governments

0:59        the added value that Shell can bring to a country.

1:03        Everything that I do at work is only achieved

1:07        through working together as part of a larger team.

1:10        We have up to 50 different scientists and engineers,

1:13        and we really couldn't achieve the things that we do

1:15        without that wide variety of multidisciplinary skills.

1:19        I can go out and actually experience the real deal.

1:22        You look at your subsea equipment, your controllers,

1:25        to make sure that they're operating to how you design it to be.

1:29        These are for the particular controllers, right?

1:31        My job is to try to find out the best solution

1:35        to get more oil and gas from the well.

1:41        We will remain dependent on exploring oil and gas resources,

1:46        and it's Shell's responsibility to do this in the most efficient way.

1:51        We get to develop and test fuels and lubricants products

1:54        in one of the most technically challenging engineering environments in the world.

1:59        We can take those learnings and we can put them into the commercial products -

2:03        the V-Powers, the Shell Helix oils and fuels - that everyday customers get to use.

2:07        It gives you a sense that you can make a difference.

2:10        Your work is actually creating an impact.

2:16        Shell always provides the opportunity to look and search for your skills,

2:20        and then maximise on your capabilities and share it with others.

[Narrators]

2:24        I was given a rig within my first three months of working at Shell.

2:27        Of course, I had my mentors there with me.

2:31        It helps you grow very quickly.

2:33        Your learning curve just escalates like you would not imagine.

2:37        I have a company that are working on those plans right now.

2:40        If you're proactive about your development, you can just go anywhere.

2:44        If you find what you're good at,

2:46        Shell will definitely give you the opportunity to deliver on that and expand further.

2:50        The calculated volume came back and we didn't see much...

2:52        You have a global network.

2:54        So I know that somebody out there knows this issue that I'm dealing with

2:58        and I could pick up the phone and, you know, figure out whatever I need to.

3:15        Every day is another excitement, another new challenge.

3:18        I look forward to tomorrow.

3:21        I'm Prashanthini Sunderan.

3:22        I'm a Subsea Controls Engineer.

3:42        And I work as a Senior Commercial Advisor in floating LNG.

3:47        My name is Mohammed Al Rayahi.

3:50        And I'm a Rotating Equipment Engineer.

3:53        My name is Ana Flenoy and I'm a Drilling Engineer.

3:58        When I tell people what I do, they don't believe me.
