Shell Assesses Attack Damage to Gas-to-Liquids Plant in Qatar's Ras Laffan
By Adam Whittaker
British energy major Shell said it was assessing damage at the world's largest gas-to-liquids plant, Pearl GTL, after an attack by Iran on the Ras Laffan Industrial City in Qatar.
Shell said Thursday that the facility was damaged during the attack and that a fire had been extinguished.
All staff are accounted for and the company is working with the Qatari government and the state-owned QatarEnergy to assess the damage.
QatarEnergy said early Thursday that Iranian missile attacks on its Ras Laffan Industrial City had caused sizable fires and extensive damage.
Shell has a 100% interest in Pearl GTL. The plant can process up to 1.6 billion cubic feet a day of wellhead gas and convert it into 140,000 barrels a day of gas-to-liquids.
