New Process Creates Fuels from Wasted Resources

The gas to liquids (GTL) process offers a promising option for producing valuable liquid fuels from gas resources that would otherwise be wasted. These include associated gas (the gas produced along with oil, which is now frequently disposed of by flaring or re-injection into the reservoir) and stranded gas (gas fields where the gas is not present in large enough quantities to warrant conventional recovery). However, current GTL technology is only economically viable for use in large scale plants designed to process at least 300 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMSCFD).
