Stranded gas
A stranded gas reserve is found in a natural gas field which has been discovered but remains unusable for either physical or economic reasons.

Associated (flared) gas
Oil reserves exploitation, particularly offshore, is often hampered by the lack of an available environmentally and economically effective solution to associated gas management. Through flare bans and resistance to gas re-injection back into the reservoir, projects are often delayed or abandoned even though the volume of gas can be very small compared to the volume of liquids to be released. CNG and LNG can offer solutions in individual cases but can be hugely capital intensive and are not a general solution to the problem.

Unconventional gas
Shale Gas extraction has become a “hot opportunity” in the US and other countries in the world as new technologies are established to enable successful extraction. However in the face of continued soft gas prices in many different countries and the significant structural gap between gas and oil market prices, a very attractive arbitrage exists for Gas to liquid conversion. Smaller scale GTL technologies have a “strategic space” to fill by providing alternatives ways to monetise shale gas.
Coal Bed Methane (CBM) is another “unconventional” gas monetisation opportunity for new generation GTL processes.

Large Scale Operations
The Gas2 system is able to deliver the efficiency of large reactors at all scales, offering a more attractive Syngas solution than ATR or SMR. There are also potential applications in large plants, for example methanol and ammonia.
