>> Does Exxon have a GTL facility in the gulf?<< No. They proposed one to Qatar back in 2005 Message 22810729 and to Nigeria in 2008 Message 24461504 but no Final Investment Decision was ever made. ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Sasol and Shell all proposed GTL plants to Qatar but the Qatari's only went ahead with the Sasol and Shell proposals. In Nigeria only the Sasol designed Escravos project being run by Chevron is under construction, way late and over budget. Exxon has the technology. They need a State owned oil company with deep pockets to order one. They won't risk using all their own money.
