Sasol to Launch Qatar Diesel From Gas Plant in June

South African fuels group Sasol Ltd will launch the world’s first commercial-scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant in Qatar on June 6, pumping 34,000 barrels per day of diesel, it said on Wednesday.

The GTL project, named Oryx, will produce liquid fuels from natural gas and will be run in partnership with Qatar Petroleum, while oil major Chevron will do most of the marketing in Europe and North America under the joint Sasol Chevron brand.
