Meeting an ever-greater demand for energy and chemical resources

The world’s energy and chemicals businesses face new challenges in the 21st century from an ever-increasing demand for energy and chemical products, offset by dwindling natural reserves and a need to consider environmental and safety issues. Greater competition drives the need for consolidation and cost reduction, and the challenge for our clients is to stay ahead of the game by taking maximum advantage of advances in technology.

The energy demands of the future will be met through better technology to extract the earth’s resources, supplemented by sustainable, alternative sources of energy such as wind, solar and hydrogen fuel cells. All this must be done safely and with as little damage caused to the environment as possible.

In addition, decommissioning the nuclear legacy is a global challenge. Over 400 reactors and nuclear installations worldwide are scheduled for decommissioning over the next few decades. Within the UK there are a number of facilities over 50 years old, which were not designed with easy decommissioning in mind. Tessella is committed to supporting the international nuclear community as it faces the decommissioning challenge over the coming decades.

For over two decades Tessella has been building a formidable track record in software innovation, and our experience spans the full range of 'upstream' and 'downstream' activities. Tessella is a leading and trusted supplier of software solutions to many of the world’s largest energy and petrochemicals companies, at all stages of the business from oil reservoir modelling to downstream chemical analysis and energy trading.
 

The exceptionally strong scientific and academic background of our consultants enables us to participate on the most technically challenging projects such as process control, chemical data analysis and visualization. As a company we have the experience and expertise to fully understand your business needs and technical requirements. We consistently deliver improved efficiency through cost-effective software solutions.
