Shell and Qatar Petroleum today announced that Pearl gas liquids (GTL), located in Ras Laffan Industrial City in the State of Qatar, has sold its first commercial shipment of GTL fuel.
The sale marks the beginning of the production of GTL products in the State of Qatar and Shell, operator of the Pearl GTL will be the proceeds of the project. In the coming months to accelerate the production of the first production ("train") and the Pearl GTL project. The second train is expected before the end of 2011.

".
When fully operational, the Pearl GTL is expected to produce 1.6 billion cubic meters of gas per day in Northfield, which will be used to produce the expected 120 000 barrels per day of condensate, liquefied petroleum gas and ethane, and l ' expected 140 000 barrels per day of gas-to-Liquids (GTL) products using the Shell proprietary technology and project management capabilities.

And the gas processing plant began production of condensate, LPG and sulfur, and four of the world's largest air separation plant began producing oxygen. The GTL plant, which employs a proprietary technology that Shell started production in May and converts the oxygen gas and GTL wax. In the final step in the process, the wax is cracked and distilled in finished products GTL.
Pearl GTL is expected to produce a series of GTL products of high quality petroleum products sold in markets around the world: the mixing kerosene in a clean-burning GTL fuel, GTL diesel fuel diesel fuel cleaner fuels, GTL base oils for lubricants Award; GTL GTL Naphtha normal paraffins and detergents, a high paraffin petrochemical industry first.
