OAO Gazprom and Royal Dutch Shell PLC are thinking about building a gas-to-liquids plant in Western Siberia in a project potentially valued at $8 billion, Gazprom said.
The Russian gas monopoly is considering building a 12 billion-cubic-meter gas-to-liquids plant in Nadym with Shell, said Gazprom Deputy Chief Executive Alexander Ryazanov.
Shell confirmed it had entered talks with Gazprom, but it stressed that discussions were at an early stage and declined to put a potential value on the project.
The estimate that Mr. Ryazanov gave for investment in the project, Russia’s first GTL plant, would put it on a par with Shell’s proposed investment in the world’s biggest GTL plant in Qatar. Shell has said a final investment decision on Pearl, a venture with Qatar Petroleum, is due this year.
GTL technology processes natural gas into clean oil products such as low-sulphur diesel, which is increasingly in demand to meet tightening restrictions.
Gazprom said a move into GTL would make sense, because the cost of pumping gas from some fields is rising as output from those fields declines.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
