Modular Gas To Liquids (GTL)

OVERVIEW
As gas producers struggle for prot amongst increasing global supply, our Modular GTL plant designs offer a state-of-the-art, low-cost solution to transform abundant ared and stranded gas into valuable liquid fuels. The Fischer-Tropsch technology allows access to and monetization of resources that historically could not be economically developed. The results are modularized, transportable GTL plants, manufactured to the highest quality standards and easily relocated when stranded-gas elds and production-are sites are depleted. Ventechs GTL plants typically produce 20% naphtha and 80% diesel with a minimum cetane of greater than 70. The product output is 100% liquid fuel with no waste product and virtually zero sulfur content.

THE tECHNOlOgY
FISCHER-TROPSCH Invented in the 1920s, the Fischer-Tropsch process is proven technology that can convert underutilized hydrocarbon resources into valuable premium-grade, environmentally friendly fuels. This process converts low-value natural gas into high-value, easily transportable fuels. And it reduces greenhouse-gas emissions by eliminating ared gas.

tHE BENEFItS

GTL plant feedstock-gas price is typically $10 $40 / bbl compared to product values normally in excess of $100 / bbl, creating high prot margin and rapid capital recovery

Creates access to and monetization of stranded gas that otherwise would be an unmarketable low-value resource
Air Oxygen Air Separation Reformer CO H2 Methane
Gas Conditioning

Natural Gas

Estimated that Fisher-Tropsch fuels will obtain a $10 $14 per barrel premium due to its extremely low sulfur content and minimum cetane rating of 70

Questions & Answers

How much natural reserves are required to economically justify modular GTL plants?

Relatively modest reserves are necessary. Reserves of approximately 75 BCF allows the larger plant to operate for 10 years at its maximum-designed capacity of 21 MMCFD in gas throughput, producing over 6 million barrels of sulfur-free premium liquid fuels.

What is the quality of Fischer-Tropsch GTL fuels?

The Fischer-Tropsch fuels are superior quality with near zero sulfur content. The diesel fuel produced has a minimum cetane rating of 70, making it the ultimate performance fuel or blend fuel for standard diesel. In 2010, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dictated that all on-highway diesel fuel must be ultra-low sulfur diesel with less than 15 ppm sulfur content. Fischer-Tropsch fuels help achieve these standards while improving cetane.

How does GTL help eliminate the environmental issues associated with aring?

Historically, associated gases produced at oilelds have been ared because it had negligible value or there was no available market. Today, aring is no longer accepted due to CO2 emissions and the consequent effects of global warming. GTL technology can now access and monetize this natural gas, minimizing the need for aring and creating an annual global market value in excess of $80 billion with one years ared gas.
