6. Gas to liquids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_to_liquids

   Gas-to-liquids processes may also be used for the economic extraction of gas deposits in locations where it is not economical to build a pipeline. This process will be increasingly significant as crude oil resources are depleted. Royal Dutch Shell produces a diesel from natural gas in a factory in Bintulu, Malaysia.
