Sažetak
The paper analyses an opportunity arising from recent developments in GTL technology to upgrade an existing refinery operations. GTL technology has drawn a widespread attention however in most cases it has been viewed as a competitive solution to existing refineries. This paper examines an opportunity to combine a traditional crude processing and GTL in one operating plant. Advantages offered by such approach comprise lowering share of heavy slates as compared to a pure crude oil processing ad restricting investment costs as compared to constructing a “pure” GTL plant.
