Our technical expertise was invaluable in the creation of the Shell Helix Technical Handbook. This massive document is a comprehensive guide for the Shell Helix global sales team, and details the benefits of Shell Helix motor oils along with information on each of the products in the range. The text and graphics can be modified for use in local markets.

tes worked with the Shell Helix technical experts to compile the content and ensure the accuracy of the information. Our designers turned that information into a document that is easy to read and has clear graphics and illustrations. The handbook is an essential reference tool for those who need to market Shell Helix to their customers.

Epsis helps oil and gas companies to make rapid and informed decisions through software and services that enhance collaborative work environments. The company asked tes to create a distinctive identity that fully captured the innovative nature of its business. We quickly understood what the company was after, and created an entirely new visual identity and brand. From this template, we subsequently created a website, a corporate brochure, an exhibition stand and service sheets.

Link is a major engineering recruitment agency based in North West England. The company came to tes when it sought to completely modernise the way it looked to the outside world. As well as creating a new visual identity for Link, we translated this work into a new company brochure and a highly interactive website that targets both prospective employees and employers.

Shell had been approached by Sulphur magazine for a lead article on its sulphur-enhanced fertiliser technology, but nobody had the time to prepare the copy. Working from interviews and Shell-internal reports, the tes writer produced the article, which made its way through the Shell technical and corporate approvals process with remarkable ease. This is a good example of where good writers with sound technical backgrounds offer huge benefits in terms of delivering projects with the minimum of hassle for the customer.

tes helped the sales and marketing director of Golar LNG to prepare a paper for presentation at the World Gas Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2009. Working from a series of internal reports and documents, and interviews with several senior technology experts from around the company, we completed the 5000-word paper with only one major iteration.

tes was asked by Schlumberger to create a series of case studies to illustrate the organisation’s Global Citizenship initiative. Schlumberger believes that it can make a difference to people’s lives in six priority areas: climate change, environment, driving safety, malaria, HIV/AIDS and education. We worked with the company to create and source text and illustrations to produce a set of case studies for each theme. These form a library of publications: standalone case studies, themed publications and a combined booklet. The publications were well received and form a key element in Schlumberger’s Global Citizenship reporting.
