GTLPro With increasing focus on energy, oil and gas companies across the world are today working on Gas-to-Liquid technology (GTL), which is about converting natural gas (which is a clean-burning and abundant energy resource) into clean naphtha, kerosene and light oils as an alternative to petroleum. This technology contributes to preserving our environment and the diversification of our energy resources.

GTL assumes greater significance today, as it creates products that could be sold or blended into refinery stock with fewer pollutants. The GTL industry is entering a significant growth period. Today's current 35,000 barrel/day (b/d) GTL capacity (representing about 0.1% of fuel and petrochemicals markets) could increase to 1 2million b/d by 2015, exploiting 10 to 20 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.

To cater to this promising need, Edutech has developed an eLearning course on GTL Technology. Edutech believes that an introduction to GTL Technology will better equip oil and gas industry professionals to apply foundation knowledge to their advantage.
