PEARL IN THE DESERT

Shell has been exploring alternative sources of energy for many years.Natural gas burns 50% cleaner than other fossil fuels, and at our Pearl GTLproject in Qatar we have built the world’s largest gas-to-liquids plant. Here,we’re creating synthetic oil products, including cleaner-burning diesel andoils for advanced lubricants.

The plant itself is a major technical and commercial achievement. Across theGTL process, Shell has over 3,500 patents. Not only that, a by-product ofthe GTL process is water, which we recycle to avoid the need for freshsupplies – crucial in a country where every drop of water counts.

Achievements on this scale are only possible because of the passion anddedication of Shell people, across every discipline. On our GraduateProgramme, you’ll join teams with a depth of experience and expertisethat will give you an outstanding start to your career.

All the way from the oil wellto the petrol pump, we apply a unique combination of technical andcommercial excellence to delivering everything from fuels and oils toapps and retail experiences.

Right at the cutting edge is the Shell team that works in collaboration withScuderia Ferrari on a technical partnership that spans over more than60 years. Every race weekend, Shell scientists work in the ScuderiaFerrari paddock to carry out over 70 tests on Shell race fuel and oil.

The impact we make on performance in this highly specialised fieldthen feeds into our consumer fuels and oils. On our Graduate Programme,

Yongqin Du joined Shell i n 2010 after complet inghis doctorate at Manchester Business School.He is now an IT Project Manager forMobile Applications.

“I joined the Shell Graduate Programme for ITto develop my knowledge of the technical andmanagement sides of implementing IT systems.

“Despite the lure of IT companies, I joined Shellbecause I’d heard the graduate programme wasa three-year rotation with opportunities for variedtraining, and competitive salary progression forPhD graduates.

“The programme made me feel part ofShell, granting me excellent support andmultidisciplinary training. It also rewards hardwork and, seven months in, I received theVice President’s Award.

“I now develop cutting-edge mobile technologiesfor the organisation, like the Shell Motorist App.I’m also part of the Shell Campus AmbassadorProgramme, promoting Shell to students at myformer university.
