MADRID, June 4 (Reuters) – A multibillion dollar gas-to-liquid fuel plant being built in Qatar by Royal Dutch Shell should be operational by the end of 2009, Qatar’s energy minister said on Monday. “We are on schedule and hopefully at the end of 2009 it will be operational,” Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah told Reuters, after a meeting with Spanish Industry Minister Joan Clos.
Shell’s Pearl GTL project will dwarf a Sasol plant in Qatar which has run into technical problems.
Qatar Petroleum and Exxon Mobil Corp have scrapped plans to build a similar sized one to Pearl.
Shell says Pearl’s costs will be up to $18 billion, based on it tapping 3 billion barrels at $4 to $6 a barrel.
Attiyah said the plants projected costs were “very reasonable” but would not comment further.
GTL plants can turn gas into fuels such as low sulphur diesel, increasingly in demand as governments tighten vehicle emissions standards.

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.
