FOR OVER 30 YEARS ALASKA HAS HAD A PIPE DREAM
ITS DIFFICULT TO INTRODUCE A NEW IDEA - BETTER IDEA
WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH MISS-INFORMATION OUT IN THE PUBLIC
BECAUSE OF THIS MANY IN ALASKA ARE CONCERNED THAT
OUR PROPOSED
MEGA GTL PLANT IS TOO AMBITIOUS
HOW ABOUT STARTING SMALL THEN BUILD THE MEGA PLANT LATER ?
NORTH SLOPE OPERATORS SUCH AS BP, CONOCOPHILLIPS, EXXONMOBIL PLUS
OTHERS
USE FROM 2,000 TO 4,000 BBL/D OF DIESEL, GASOLINE AND METHANOL
ALL OF WHICH MUST BE TRUCK TRANSPORTED TO THE NORTH SLOPE
SUPPLYING PRODUCTS FROM A PLANT BUILT ON THE NORTH SLOPE
WILL ELIMINATE TRUCK CRASHES AND RESULTING SPILLS
ANGTL/ANRTL HAS PROPOSED TO THE NORTH SLOPE OPERATORS THAT IT
WOULD
BUILD A SMALL SCALE GTL PLANTTO DEMONSTRATE GTL
OPERATIONS
IN THIS HARSH ENVIRONMENT

LARGE SCALE GTL PLANTS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR OVER 30 YEARS. THE SHALE REVOLUTION IN THE LOWER 48 HAS CREATED A DEMAND FOR SMALL SCALE GTL PLANTS. COMPETITION AMOUNG TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS HAVE IMPROVED THE EFFICENCY OF SMALL SCALE SO THAT THEIR ECONOMICS APPROACH THAT OF LARGE SCALE GTL PLANTS.
THREE OF THE LEADERS IN SMALL SCALE GTL ARE:
PRIMUS GREEN ENERGY
VELOCYS PLC
INFRA TECHNOLOGY
ANRTL HAS COMPLETED A PRE-FEED STUDY FOR A 1,200 BBL/D MODULE INITIALLY SUPPLYING METHANIL AND GASOLINE FROM LOCAL SOURCED NATURAL GAS
BUILT IN MODULES, THE GTL PLANT CAN BE UP AND RUNNING WITHIN
24 MONTHS OF FINAL PERMITTING
THERE APPEARS TO BE SUPPORT FROM EXXONMOBIL AND CONOCOPHILLIPS - WHERE IS BP ?
