Reuters) – Royal Dutch Shell CFO Simon Henry said on Thursday that Shell was looking at brownfield sites in Louisiana and Texas for the construction of a possible gas-to-liquids plant.
Henry said an investment decision was a long way off and would likely not be made until the end of the decade at the earliest.
The gas-to-liquids plant would be modeled on the company’s GTL plants in Bintulu, Malaysia, and Qatar and would use natural gas as a feedstock to produce very low sulfur middle distillates and natural gas liquids.
