Public networks fail in remote oilfields and offshore platforms. Private LTE delivers dedicated, ultra-reliable connectivity that powers thousands of NB-IoT sensors — feeding real-time Machine-to-Machine (M2M) data straight into powerful AI platforms like C3 AI Reliability. Shell’s proven results: Shell runs one of the largest enterprise AI deployments in energy: • 10,000+ critical assets monitored globally (rigs, refineries, compressors, valves) • 15+ million AI predictions daily • ~20% reduction in unplanned downtime Shell VP Dan Jeavons (Computational Science & Digital Innovation) at C3 Transform 2022: “If you want to talk about impact, for us, that’s meant a 5% increase in crude oil production.” Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coUaU4iySU8 This 5% production lift + 20% less downtime has delivered tens of millions in annual value while boosting safety and reliability. Shell’s Australian Private LTE network (deployed by Aqura Technologies / Telstra) is the connectivity foundation enabling these wins — perfect for refinery automation, remote drilling, and massive IoT sensor streams. pLTE for Safety & Equipment Control • Worker safety: Real-time tracking, gas detection, fall alerts → up to 80% fewer incidents • Vehicles & assets: Fleet optimization, predictive maintenance, autonomous drones/robots (75%+ fewer manual inspections) • Overall industry gains with pLTE + AI: 30–70% productivity boost, significant cost savings, and safer operations Bottom line: pLTE isn’t just better connectivity — it’s the secure backbone that turns sensor data into 5% more crude oil, dramatically lower downtime, and safer operations. Shell proved it works at massive scale. #PrivateLTE #pLTE #C3AI #Shell #OilAndGas
