Bright, uplifting music is played in the background.
[White screen]
A yellow droplet descends from the top to the middle of the screen, transforming into a spinning roundel. This roundel includes animations of an orange robotic arm, a white spinning wind turbine, an open gear and a grey spinning cog. There are small animations of lubricants moving and arrows around the focal roundel.
[Spoken word]
Gearboxes help keep the wheels of industry turning, but over time, they have become smaller and more intricate, while power outputs increase, and operating conditions toughen.

A zoom into the robotic arm section of the roundel – the robotic arm is making up and down movements. Then in a clockwise motion the spinning grey cog section of the roundel appears. The roundel continues to spin, changing to the vibrating open gear and finally moves to the turning wind turbine section.

Fortunately, technology advancements mean each piece of machinery is now meticulously engineered to overcome these environments.

It then zooms out to show the roundel in full – with each section of the roundel showing it's own animation. The roundel then fills in with a blue background colour and an enlarged spinning cog. The background fill of the roundel then changes to yellow and the spinning cog's appearance deteriorates.

There's a zoom into the roundel that produces a new scene displaying a front-facing red car being assembled by orange robotic arms on each side, attaching wing mirrors onto the car's body. A moving yellow clock can be seen above the car accompanied by small animations of lubricants and dashed lines moving in the background. At the end of the scene, four green check marks appear one after the other at the top and bottom of the orange robotic arms.

so Shell Omala is designed to help equipment operate without interruption, enabling longer maintenance intervals, especially in heavy, repetitive industrial settings where productivity, consistency and reliability dictate success.

A roundel appears in the middle of the screen, obstructing the red car and the clock but leaving the two orange robotic arms in view. The roundel contains a blue background fill and displays two animations of grey spinning gears. The background fill of the roundel then changes to yellow and the animation of the gears deteriorates simultaneously.

The enhanced wear protection provided by Shell Omala safeguards gears against service life and productivity drains.

There is a blue sky with 3 spinning wind turbines planted in a darker blue ocean. There is an animated dashed line that shoots off-screen. 3 bubbles appear one after the other next to the 3 wind turbines. The first appears on top of the middle turbine, the next appears on the right of the right turbine and the last appears on the left of the left turbine. These bubbles begin to fill with a yellow and a green outline in the same order, revealing green icons. The first reveals an icon representing a kilogram weight, the next reveals a snowflake icon and the last reveals an icon representing chemical corrosion.

Take modern wind turbines. Their bigger blades are increasingly asked to work harder, meaning critical components come under strain from higher loads. Between isolated locations and harsh operational conditions, gear oils demand a balanced performance – all of which starts with protection.

The scene then zooms past the 3 wind turbines, transporting to 3 onshore spinning wind turbines planted on green forest terrain with a blue sky. There are numerous green turbines spinning in the background.
