So is it better than synthetic?
Or is it synthetic?

Skimmed it, didn’t see anything about price points. Very interesting from the supply potential perspective though.

“Shells base oil made from natural gas is cheaper than those derived from crude oil, which gives the company an advantage, Ames said.”
Whoops, there it is. Wow. That could be a big effing deal.

You mean the private sector actually succeeded in an innovation endeavor?
I thought all improvements to society were based upon government “investment”. Silly me.....

My diesel requires oil which,at bargain prices,goes for $7.50/litre.If this makes my oil cheaper I'll be thrilled.

Yep, I knew it was another great Thackney thread.

Seems like building a plant in NoDak would be good for America, so I doubt the government would allow it.

Shell was looking at a Gas-to-Liquids plant in Louisiana but could not justify the economics. Qatar has their biggest plant.

I read an article once several years ago that said that synthetic oil is made from natural gas. Surprised to read this.

Royal Dutch Shell, but once upon a time way back when I did some service work in Houston at Shell. Place was full of towel heads.

I don't know how "pioneering" it is... Shell owns Pennzoil. Thus, the ad is for the Shell product.

Shell is unique in having this product and they are not selling it to others and it will make a great motor oil, theres no doubt about it, said Stephen Ames, managing director for SBA Consulting, which consults for the lubricants and refining industries. Will it be better than other peoples motor oil remains to be seen. The must have licensed it to Pennzoil. Saw Pennzoil 5w-20 Platinum Full Synthetic made from natural gas on the shelf at Walmart just yesterday.

Should have read the posts first.
I didn't know that Shell owned Pennzoil? I've been using Pennzoil synthetic in my car since new. I use Castrol synthetic in my pickup. I'll probably be switching the car over to Castrol (BP) until the verdict is in on the new oil.
