Full Capacity for Escravos GTL in 2015

Monday, November 10, 2014

Sasol revealed that the Chevron-led Escravos GTL (EGTL) project should see full production in mid-2015.

The plant, which saw delay after delay before finally coming onstream in September, uses Sasol’s Fischer-Tropsch process to produce ultra-clean diesel and naphtha. The adjacent Escravos gas plant will process about 1,000 bpd of LPG produced by EGTL.

Besides the multiply delays, partners on the GTL plant saw costs quadruple going from an initial cost of $2.5 billion to around $10 billion.

The plant is jointly owned by the Nigerian state energy company NNPC and Chevron.
