Demand for energy is steadily rising worldwide and natural gas (NG) represents an attractive choice due to its clean burning characteristics. Fewer NG gas deposits are being discovered that are located close to existing pipeline infrastructure, or which are large enough to justify the significant capital expenditure required to develop them.

Converting NG to synthetic crude oil using Fischer-Tropsch technology
Converting NG to methanol by methanol synthesis reaction (MSR)
