Utilization of associated gas is an ecological and commercial
necessity
![Page 3: A new way to develop mineral deposits GTLittle (mini-plants for producing synthetic oil or methanol from associated gas) Kirill LIATS General Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649ea05503460f94ba35eb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Up to 25 billion m3 of associated gas is flared annually.
• This amount increases annually by 1-3 billion m3
![Page 4: A new way to develop mineral deposits GTLittle (mini-plants for producing synthetic oil or methanol from associated gas) Kirill LIATS General Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649ea05503460f94ba35eb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• CO2 and other harmful substances are emitted when gas is flared
• The environment is heated globally and locally. The permafrost areas are especially endangered
![Page 5: A new way to develop mineral deposits GTLittle (mini-plants for producing synthetic oil or methanol from associated gas) Kirill LIATS General Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649ea05503460f94ba35eb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Losses: $500 million to $5 billion per year

There is a solution!
GTL – gas-to-liquid
![Page 7: A new way to develop mineral deposits GTLittle (mini-plants for producing synthetic oil or methanol from associated gas) Kirill LIATS General Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649ea05503460f94ba35eb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why GAS-TO-LIQUID?
• Absence of spare capacity in pipelines
• Monopolistic disbursing prices when shipping through main pipelines
• Remoteness from end consumers of natural gas
• High cost of building new gas pipelines
• Substantially lower costs when shipping a liquid product
![Page 8: A new way to develop mineral deposits GTLittle (mini-plants for producing synthetic oil or methanol from associated gas) Kirill LIATS General Director.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649ea05503460f94ba35eb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Synthetic oil as a commercial productLogistics
• Synthetic oil – a string of hydrocarbons С5-С17 in liquid state at normal temperature
• Sulfur, asphaltens, aromatics are absent
• Output can be shifted toward paraffins or alpha-olefins
• Consumers: oil refineries, petrochemical plants
• Synthetic oil can be processed at minimum cost into motor fuels (gasoline, diesel fuel). The cetane number of the diesel fuel is 70.

Synthetic oil as a commercial productLogistics
• Used for own needs in gas production
• Used as a product for subsequent processing into formaldehydes, carbamide-formaldehyde tars, olefins.
• Other consumers: chemical plants, fertilizer plants, pulp and paper combines, woodworking and furniture factories

Advantages of designing mini-plants at the stage of developing oilfields
• Minimization of expenditures
• Reduction of ecological payments
• Obtaining a commercial product from waste material
• Capitalization of gas, facilitation of transporting it
• Possibility of optimizing the infrastructure of the mini-plant to fit the entire development program

Non-sponsor financing of GTLittle construction.The Strategic Reserves project
• Solving the problem of associated gas utilization by selling it at the site where it is fed to the processing company’s flare
• Solving the problem of monetizing non-transportable gas by selling it at the well of the processing company
• Providing the processing company with a site for building a GTL plant or unit
• The company "Strategic Reserves" is a partner and customer of Metaprocess Corp. which attracts investment for building plants and units for producing synthetic oil and methanol from natural and associated gas
