在乌兹别克斯坦决定推迟建设天然气液化（GTL）工厂一个月之后，邻国土库曼斯坦称其正准备启动一项类似的工程。
乌兹别克斯坦曾计划建设GTL工厂，该工厂每年可转化35亿立方米的天然气，生产864,000吨柴油、304,000吨航空煤油、395,000吨石脑油，以及11,200吨液化气。根据计划，该工程将在2014年开始，2017年8月开始作业。
在天然气价格低于石油产品价格的情况下，建设GTL工厂十分有利。然而，当前低油价的行情不利于GTL工厂的发展。因此南非Sasol公司以目前油价较低为由，表示其正在犹豫是否要加入建设耗资56亿美元的乌兹别克斯坦GTL工厂。然而，一个月后，土库曼斯坦政府称其将建设类似的工厂。
土库曼斯坦政府发布的声明显示：由Turkmengaz公司、LG公司、韩国Hyundai公司和日本Itochu公司组成的联盟将会合建该工厂，每年在土库曼斯坦中部的Ahal省将37亿立方米的天然气转化为液体合成燃料。
土库曼斯坦政府并没有公布工程建设成本和开始日期，但是政府称工厂每年将生产110万公吨柴油和40万公吨石脑油。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com

A month after the postponement of a gas-to-liquids plant in Uzbekistan, neighbouring Turkmenistan announced that it is preparing to start a similar project.
GTL relies on the cost of gas being lower than oil products with which it competes, so today’s low oil prices discourage this kind of investment.
According to a government announcement, a consortium including state Turkmengaz company, LG, Hyundai (South Korea) and Itochu (Japan) would build the plant, aimed at converting 3.7bn m3/yr of natural gas into liquid synthetic fuels (GTL) in Ahal province, in the central region of Turkmenistan.
No costs were disclosed or the start date, but the government said that it would produce 1.1mn mt/yr of diesel and 0.4mn mt/yr of naphtha.
Turkmenistan’s plan to build a GTL plant came a month after South Africa’s Sasol announced that it is reviewing its plan to participate in building a $5.6bn GTL plant in Uzbekistan, citing current low oil prices as its reason.
Uzbekistan’s GTL plant has been projected to convert 3.5bn m3/yr of natural gas to produce 864,000 tons of diesel fuel; 304,000 tons of aviation kerosene; 395,000 tons of naphtha; and 11,200 tons of liquefied gas.
The project was planned to start in 2014 and was expected to become operational by August 2017.
