Shell Intends to Close its Pearl GTL Plant in Qatar in March for
Maintenance Work
December 13, 2015
Mr. Rob Sherwin,
Deputy Chairman of Qatar Shell said
on Sunday that the company plans to shut down one of the
two production lines for converting gas to liquids (GTL) in the
Pearl GTL Plant in Qatar in March next year for a comprehensive
maintenance work.
He added that the maintenance work would stop the second
production line and that may take a month or two.
He told Reuters on the sidelines of an energy conference in
Doha, "Pearl GTL Plant consists of
two identical production
lines. The first line underwent maintenance work in earlier time
this year and the same action will be repeated in 2016 for the
second line almost at the same time in March."
According to Shell's website, Pearl GTL Plant includes two
identical production lines and each of them has production
capacity of 140,000 barrels per day of gas to petroleum liquids
(GTL) in addition to 120,000 barrels per day of natural gas
liquids (NGL) and Ethane.
