Shell introduces latest transformer, turbine oils with GTL technology

The seminar in Alkhobar was attended by representatives of more than 100 clients of the company.

Shell Lubricants Ƶ recently held a seminar about its latest transformer and turbine oils — Shell Diala and Shell Turbo with gas-to-liquids technology — in Alkhobar. The seminar was attended by representatives of more than 100 clients of the company.
Shell introduced its complete lineup of oil and lubricant products for the petrochemical, oil & gas and power sectors.
Shell’s gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology converts natural gas — the cleanest-burning fossil fuel — into high-quality liquid products that would otherwise be made from crude oil. GTL products are colorless and odorless. They contain almost none of the impurities — sulfur, aromatics and nitrogen — that are found in crude oil. 
Shell Lubricants Ƶ also highlighted its technical services to customers through Shell Lube Adviser, which can advise companies on which oil to use to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. Shell Lube Analyst helps identify potential oil or equipment failures before they become critical. Shell Lube Coach delivers better performance through an in-depth lubrication training program. Shell Lube Match is a free online service enabling customers to find the right lubricants for vehicles and equipment in seconds. Shell Lube Video Check is a fiber-optic tool that allows inspection of the inside of an engine without dismantling it. Shell Lube Van is a quick and efficient diagnostic tool for lubricant applications. Customers can also monitor the condition of their lubricants, vehicles and equipment through Shell Lube Van.
Khalid Yassin, B2B general manager national sales Shell Lubricants Ƶ, said: “The seminar has given us an opportunity to introduce our product lines, including our unique gas-to-liquids technology. The seminar also helps us stay in touch with our existing OEM customers and make contact with potential new ones.”
He added: “We have strategic partnerships with most OEMs, and we build strong relationships with our customers. That’s why our interaction with customers has been of great importance to us, as we seek to demonstrate the unique features of GTL technology and its ability to protect equipment while ensuring optimum performance, even in extreme operating conditions.”
Peter Smith, global technology manager for industrial speciality lubricants, made a presentation about GTL technology and its benefits.
