Title: Bringing remote gas one step closer to market

Journal Article · · Orange Disc; (United States)
OSTI ID:6824917

A catalytic process for converting natural gas into highly usable and transportable liquid hydrocarbons is discussed. The driving force behind this project is the utilization of formerly non-exploitable gas - because of transportation problems and low local demand. Called Gulf-Badger, natural gas is first transformed into synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Then, using a Gulf-developed catalyst, the G-B process converts the synthesis gas into liquid hydrocarbons in the form of diesel fuel, naphtha, and wax.
