"Welcome and Introduction"
Dr Cruise, Shell Thornton Research Laboratories
Dr Cruise from the Thornton Laboratories, thanked everyone for coming
to the meeting, and recalled the previous ESCA Users meeting held at Shell over 15 years
ago. Two of the current members attended that previous meeting Dr RK Wild and Dr R
Bulpett. The Shell Laboratories have recently been through a major refurbishment the work
of the analytical department has also been changed. The labs are now part of Shell global
solutions and do work for the outside companies as well as Shell. However, Shell is still
committed to research as a key tool in development new and safer industrial products. The
theme of the meeting is based around the research approach adopted by Shell, where a host
of analytical methods are applied to any given problem.
