  1. A new way to develop mineral depositsGTLittle (mini-plants for producing synthetic oil or methanol from associated gas) Kirill LIATS General Director Metaprocess

  2. Utilization of associated gas is an ecological and commercial necessity

  3. Up to 25 billion m3 of associated gas is flared annually. • This amount increases annually by 1-3 billion m3

  4. CO2 and other harmful substances are emitted when gas is flared • The environment is heated globally and locally. The permafrost areas are especially endangered

  5. Losses: $500 million to $5 billion per year

  6. There is a solution! GTL – gas-to-liquid

  7. Why GAS-TO-LIQUID? • Absence of spare capacity in pipelines • Monopolistic disbursing prices when shipping through main pipelines • Remoteness from end consumers of natural gas • High cost of building new gas pipelines • Substantially lower costs when shipping a liquid product

  8. Synthetic oil as a commercial productLogistics • Synthetic oil – a string of hydrocarbons С5-С17 in liquid state at normal temperature • Sulfur, asphaltens, aromatics are absent • Output can be shifted toward paraffins or alpha-olefins • Consumers: oil refineries, petrochemical plants • Synthetic oil can be processed at minimum cost into motor fuels (gasoline, diesel fuel). The cetane number of the diesel fuel is 70.

  9. Synthetic oil as a commercial productLogistics • Used for own needs in gas production • Used as a product for subsequent processing into formaldehydes, carbamide-formaldehyde tars, olefins. • Other consumers: chemical plants, fertilizer plants, pulp and paper combines, woodworking and furniture factories

  10. Advantages of designing mini-plants at the stage of developing oilfields • Minimization of expenditures • Reduction of ecological payments • Obtaining a commercial product from waste material • Capitalization of gas, facilitation of transporting it • Possibility of optimizing the infrastructure of the mini-plant to fit the entire development program

  11. Aspects of designing and building mini-plants using the technology of Metaprocess Inc.

  12. Economic indicators for a methanol plant

  13. Economic indicators for GTL plant

  14. Economic indicators per ton of methanol

  15. Economic indicators per ton of GTL

  16. General Principles of GTL Production SULFUR REMOVAL HYDRO-CRACKING SULFUR REMOVAL FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS GAS STEAM REFORMING (PRODUCTION OF SYNTHESIS-GAS)

  17. GTL Steam tube conversion

  18. Quench reactor (cold bypasses) methanol synthesis reactor

  19. GTL Steam tube conversion

  20. Fisher-Tropsch tube reactor

  21. Assembling of Mini-Methanol unitExhausteur

  22. Assembling of mini-methanol unitAir-coolers

  23. Assembling of mini-methanol unit

  24. Assembling of mini-methanol unit

  25. Assembling of mini-methanol unit

  26. Non-sponsor financing of GTLittle construction.The Strategic Reserves project • Solving the problem of associated gas utilization by selling it at the site where it is fed to the processing company’s flare • Solving the problem of monetizing non-transportable gas by selling it at the well of the processing company • Providing the processing company with a site for building a GTL plant or unit • The company "Strategic Reserves" is a partner and customer of Metaprocess Corp. which attracts investment for building plants and units for producing synthetic oil and methanol from natural and associated gas

  27. GTL UnitPilot Fisher-Tropsch reactor • Pilot unit of gas-to-liquid processing has been assembling • It will be launched until 15-th of March in Novocherkassk

  28. Permanent battle with flaring gasGas purification unit in Chechnya • Dry gas sulfur purification unit • Domestic consumption of clean oilwell gas • Reduction of flaring 250 mln cubic metres of oilwell gas annually
