INFRA opens company’s first commercial-sized GTL plant
INFRA Technology, provider of feasible solutions for monetization of stranded gas fields, including remote, offshore and shale gas reservoirs, as well as eliminating associated petroleum gas flaring through its new generation of GTL (gas-to-liquids) technology, hosted a grand opening ceremony for its first commercial size plant, Mark 100, in Wharton, Texas.
Mark 100, transportable modular GTL plant is designed to convert 1 MMcf of natural gas to produce 100 bpd of clean burning liquid synthetic crude oil.
INFRA’s technology makes production of synthetic crude oil from natural gas economically feasible, ensuring that the GTL process is profitable even for small-scale units. Furthermore, Mark 100’s compact 4,000 square feet footprint and standard container size design makes it extremely transportable.
“We are delighted to celebrate the Grand Opening of our Mark 100 plant in Wharton today,” INFRA’s CEO Kaan Akyalcin said. “It is an important step for-and into-the future of our company. Our company would like to encourage and cultivate better utilization of the hydrocarbon resources worldwide. Mark 100 and other plants constructed in the future, based on our cutting-edge technology, will both help conserve the environment as well as make gas monetization through GTL feasible for oil and gas producers across the globe.”
Construction activities created over 50 new jobs, 20 of them being permanent jobs within the maintenance and operations department of the new plant.
The project was made possible in coordination and with assistance from the City of Wharton and Wharton County.
