Syntroleum Corporation  (NASDAQ: SYNM)  is in the business of monetizing remote and/or stranded natural gas. It is the developer, user and licensor of the Syntroleum® Process, a proprietary process for converting natural gas (or synthesis gas from coal) into ultra clean liquid fuels like Diesel and Naphtha - a process generally known as gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Syntroleum employs its technology to acquire equity in oil and gas development projects where GTL can be critical to a project's success. Syntroleum also licenses the Syntroleum Process to others. Syntroleum's unique air-based GTL technology offers attractive solutions to monetize natural gas reserves (including flared gas) that are not economic to produce using traditional methods. The air-based technology enables Syntroleum to target gas reserves in the range of 1-3+ trillion cubic feet which are too small for LNG projects or world scale GTL projects.
