Answer:

Pearl shipped its first product in June 2011, around three months after start-up. The plant achieved full production towards the end of 2012. It will process around 3 billion barrels of oil equivalent over its lifetime from the world’s largest single gas field, the North Field in the Arabian Gulf. The field stretches from Qatar’s coast and contains more than 900 trillion cubic feet of gas, equivalent to 150 billion barrels of oil.

The gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant, a joint development by Qatar Petroleum and Shell, provides nearly 8% of Shell’s production worldwide — making it one of the company’s key projects. It has a capacity of 260,000 barrels of GTL products and natural gas liquids per day.

The plant produces cleaner-burning diesel and aviation fuel, oils for advanced lubricants, naphtha to make plastics, and paraffin for detergents. It makes enough diesel to fill over 160,000 cars a day and enough synthetic oil each year to make lubricants for more than 225 million cars. The products reach customers in every major energy market through Shell’s global retail network.

In bringing Pearl to production, Shell engineers built on more than 30 years of experience in gas-to-liquids technology. The company built the world’s first commercial-scale GTL plant in Bintulu, Malaysia, in 1993. On a daily basis, Pearl’s output of GTL products is almost 10 times greater than Bintulu’s.
