Gas to Liquids 2008

 

I presents the 11th annual Gas to Liquids conference.. Oil prices reached historic highs this summer.  Many observers and analysts regard the current price fluctuations to be part of a structural rather than cyclical shift, with prices likely to be sustained around or above $70/bbl.  Does this fundamentally change the economics of GTL projects?  . Will sustained high oil prices make GTL projects more attractive to investors?  Will the oil price drop further, and if it does, what impact will this have? . Despite the escalation in commodity and engineering costs 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. Key How will the new economic environment 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
