  3. GTL Background • BP has been working to advance GTL technology since mid-1980s. • BP’s primary focus reduces reformer cost via Compact Reformer design ( 60% of total GTL cost) . • Next step: Complete demonstration of new technology at GTL Facility. BP GTL Program

  4. Gas Commercialization GAS LNG, Re-injection, Power, Pipeline (CH4) Acetic acid SYNGAS Formaldehyde MTBE (CO + H2) Diesel Additives Methanol Syncrude Hydrogen Fuel Cells Olefins Ammonia Fuel Cells Green Fuels DME Urea Acrylonitrile Diesel Fuel Polyethylene Power Generation Ethylene Glycol Alpha-olefins LPG Alternative BP GTL Program

  5. Environmental Benefits of GTL Products • Diesel • No sulfur • No Nox • No aromatics – reduces soot • Naphtha • Almost purely paraffinic, low aromatics • Excellent chemical feedstock • Jet Fuel • No aromatics • No sulphur • Energy density lower than conventional jet fuel, need further testing BP GTL Program

  6. GTL Test Facility Objective • To demonstrate BP/Kvaerner new technologies (Compact Reformer • & F-T Catalyst) to provide confidence for building commercial scale GTL facilities. Project Scope • Converts ~ 3 mmscfd of natural gas to 300 bpd of syncrude. • Process consists of: • Compact Reformer (proprietary BP/Kvaerner design produces syngas). • Fischer-Tropsch Converter (proprietary BP catalyst produces paraffin wax). • Hydro-cracker (commercially available technology produces syncrude).

  12. GTL Test Facility Cost • Total Project Cost of $86 million with about $64 million spent through July 2001. Schedule • Started process unit work in Feb. 2001 (permits received). • Plant start-up planned for 1Q / 2Q 2002. • 5 Year Plant Life Estimated – maybe longer to test new technologies BP GTL Program

  13. GTL Test Facility Benefits to Local Economy • About $40 million of expenditures are expected to be spent in Alaska: • Permanent plant equipment and materials • Facility construction (Labor, Materials, Construction Equipment, etc.) • Additional BP/Kvaerner Staff • At peak construction, anticipate creating between 150 to 200 jobs. • During Operations Phase, approximately 20 Operations and Testing Team Staff, Maintenance and Trucking personnel.
