WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:The growing realisation that the world is on the threshold of a “Golden Age of Gas” has re-ignited interestin technologies that maximise the value of natural gas. One of the most promising is Gas-to-Liquids (GTL),a process that converts plentiful cheap gas into high-value premium oil products and specialities such aswaxes. After decades of development, the technology leaders Shell and Sasol have proved that thetechnology not only works but can be employed in highly profitable projects, such as the Pearl and Oryxfacilities in Qatar. Today we are seeing the commercialisation of multiplying technologies at large andsmall-scale that have broadened the spectrum of GTL applications. This workshop will look at theopportunities and the challenges involved in implementing GTL projects and marketing their output.

WELCOME DRINKS RECEPTIONSMi Group invite all workshop,conference delegates, speakers andsponsors to join them for a networkingwelcome drinks reception at 5:30pm atthe Millennium Gloucester Hotel. Meetand network with fellow attendees in arelaxed environment before theconference.
