"Texaco is a leading marketer and transporter of natural gas and natural gas liquids. Additionally, Texaco is a world leader in the commercial development of gasification technology and is one of the top five natural gas producers in the country. A large asset base, coupled with strategic partner alliances and a strong customer focus, enables Texaco to provide services in all aspects of the natural gas business. These services range from gathering, processing, transportation and hub services to trading, marketing and risk management. "

I pasted this quote from a 7/9/98 news release. Very interesting sentence....Texaco is a world leader in the commercial development of gasification technology

John,
If this goes down just a bit more to 1.00, I'll buy 10,000 more shares. That will sure bring my cost down quite a bit. What do you think the chances are for that? >G< S

Howdy, John et al. Regarding iron vs cobalt economics, IMHO it's a very complicated story. The best cobalt players (Shell, Exxon, eg.) working with really clean gas do maybe in the neighborhood of 7-8% better than a RNTK operation would. But start adding impurities and the balance starts to shift. More importantly, the whole picture varies significantly depending on locale, input materials, output products desired, availability of "freebie" inputs like excess steam or other energy, etc.

I'm no expert. It just looks like the RNTK Fe approach has a niche for processing gasified bottoms, coal, bitumen, heavy crude, etc. That niche should be big enough if they ever sign with the right partner.

Duh........
