Shell FRED

Shell FRED (Fire, Release, Explosion, and Dispersion) is Shell's consequence modelling tool

Shell FRED is a fire, release, explosion and dispersion consequence modelling tool developed by Shell and available exclusively through Gexcon.

Based on 40 years of operator development, it generates fast and reliable predictions with validation credentials unrivalled in the market.

As an owner-operator tool, it has been developed by engineers who understand at first-hand the need for accurate results and actionable outputs. It answers the questions that operators need to design, develop and maintain safe operations.

The software is underpinned by an advanced thermodynamic model which enables extended multi-component fuel representation to be used in nearly all models.

Previously only available for use on Shell projects, it is known and trusted throughout the world and can be universally applied to facilities across a wide range of industries.
