overview

 

I presents the 11th annual Gas to Liquids conference..

With oil prices at historic highs – in what most observers and analysts regard as a structural rather than cyclical shift – the economics of GTL projects have changed fundamentally.  Despite the cost escalation in commodity costs and engineering that has taken place over the past four years, GTL projects are still potentially profitable, and still attracting the attentions of investment banks interested in providing finance for them. Two key challenges remain: getting technology to work as intended, and project execution of what can be massive and complex undertakings.

.

How will the new fundamentals affect existing projects?  What new operations are being planned? Will suspended projects be re-examined? This conference takes a fresh look at the prospects for GTL in the light of the new economic environment – looking not just at the very large projects we have seen implemented to date, but also technologies appropriate to smaller-scale developments. 

.

.

Key themes will include:
• Prospects for GTL in light of high long-term oil prices
• Updates of key projects including Oryx and Pearl

• Is GTL an economically viable way of monetising gas?
• Technology developments
