Area: 80 acres
Capacity: 2,800 b/d liquids from natural gas
Start-up Year: 2016
Pinto Ohio GTL project is a gas-to-liquids (GTL) project taken place in USA. For this Ohio GTL project, Pinto Energy, who is the operator and owner of the project, took ownership of only 80 acres site where it should produce 2,800 b/d liquids from natural gas delivered from Utica and Marcellus shale gas fields. Pinto Energy (Pinto) has selected Ashtabula in the Ohio, USA to build its first unit of series of small scale unit of gas-to-liquids (GTL) transformation. With this concept, Pinto intends to optimise the benefit resulting in some states of the USA of the sustainable supply of competitive feedstock provided by Utica, or Marcellus shale gas basins, in the same time as the strong local demand for transportation fuels. This Ashtabula site will benefit from existing power lines, water supply and waste water treatment and contributing to reduce the overall capital expenditure of Pinto GTL project. With this modular design, Pinto expects to run its GTL facility with only 30 headcounts. The first commercial operations of the Ohio GTL project to start in 2016.
