FUTURE OUTLOOK FOR GTL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GTL PLANTS
The future for Gas-to-Liquids in a ‘lower for longer’ oil-price world
Workshop Leader: Alex Forbes, Director, Forbes Communications
HALF-DAY PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPTuesday 11th October 2016
13.30 - 17.30Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London, UK
Overview of workshop:The structural shift in oil prices since 2014 presents both challenges and opportunities to the Gas-to-Liquids (GTL) industry. The $100+ per barrel oil prices of 2011-2014 are a thing of the past. Oil-price fundamentals have been transformed by new technologies. That said, the large-scale GTL projects operating today were sanctioned and constructed when oil prices were well below the dizzy heights of 2011-14. The future for GTL products – be they fuels, lubricants, waxes or other speciality chemicals – will depend to a very large extent on energy price trends. Will there be a suffi cient differential between oil and gas prices over the long term for GTL projects to be economically viable? What will be the trajectory of project construction costs? And which types of projects stand the best chance of going ahead?
Why should you attend this workshop?This workshop will look at the opportunities that GTL technologies present to monetise gas – in the context of a world in which oil prices are expected to remain “lower for longer” – and the challenges of implementing GTL projects and marketing their output.
The workshop will interest natural gas resource holders, project developers, technology providers, equipment suppliers, engineering contractors, fi nanciers and potential end-use sectors for GTL products, such as the transportation and petrochemicals industries.
Programme:
13.30 Registration & Coffee
14.00 Industry Overview • What do we mean by GTL? • The importance of oil and gas trends • The trajectory of project construction costs • Large-scale and small-scale GTL technologies • In what commercial applications can GTL be

15.20 Afternoon Tea
15.50 The Economic Viability Of Gtl Projects • How GTL economics have evolved over the past
two decades • Case studies – large-scale and small-scale • Comparing GTL with other gas monetisation
options, such as LNG • The economics of developing future GTL projects
16.20 Taking GTL Products To Market • Key markets • Demonstration projects – past, present and future • Maximising GTL revenues • The role of policy in GTL development • The future for GTL
17.00 Discussion & Questions – A Review Of The Session
17.30 End of Workshop
