Re: Syntroleum -- It's competitive with crude anywhere above $15 per barrel. I doubt that. Exxon's plant in Qatar which makes oil from gas using a similar process (Fischer-Tropsch) converts at $31.60/bbl. che.com Admittedly, Exxon's process requires pure Oxygen while Syntroleum's processing uses air, which should reduce conversion cost significantly. But I don't believe that the latter reduces cost by 50%. With $16 oil there will be few lining up to buy this process, IMO. But I will keep my eye on SLHO, as it could take off when oil does and at faster rate than drillers. Tulvio
