Description
It is estimated that a large fraction of natural gas reserves are found in locations from where transport is not economical. If these isolated natural gas reserves could be converted to synthetic fuels, they would generate around 250 billion barrels of synthetic oil-a quantity equal to one-third of the Middle East's proven oil reserves.

Reviews / Votes
"With the recent explosion of unconventional gas recovery, new biogas technologies, and advances in reforming processes, the gas to liquid (GTL) process has become very important in the energy and fuel industry. This book is an extensive compilation of the present state of the art of this important process by a set of internationally renowned authors. The book will be very useful to those engaged in active research in various aspects of GTL processes. The book can also be used as a reference for the graduate courses related to fuel conversion processes."-Y.T. Shah, Norfolk State University, Virginia, USA
"For those working in the field, the book provides an excellent summary of the current state of the art."
-Ken Jones, Knutsford, Cheshire, UK, from Chromatographia, May 2015
