Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

This contains business proprietary information 1. (C) On October 27, David Scott, General Manager of Oxy of Abu Dhabi (protect) told Econchief that Occidental Petroleum, along with the UAE Offsets Group and other consortium partners, was in the initial stages of a large gas to liquids (GTL) project with Qatar. The consortium has signed an MOU with the GoQ and is currently engaged in technology testing in the U.S. According to Scott, if the project goes forward it will be the second largest GTL deal in the world at 120,000 barrels of liquids a day and would draw from Qatar's North Field. He suggested that his company would decide early next year whether to continue with the project. (Note: Occidental Petroleum, the UAE Offsets Group and Total are partners in the Dolphin Energy project to bring gas from Qatar to the UAE.) 2. (C) Scott also expressed concern that Oxy's UAE partners could have problems obtaining visas to go to the U.S. to participate in the project and in the briefings. Albright
