Friday, April 5, 8:26 AM Sasol (SSL) says it seeking a buyer for its Papua New Guinea assets, apparently giving up on plans to develop a gas-to-liquids project there. Interest among international energy companies in the country’s gas potential remains high, with an estimated 26T cubic feet of natural gas which could be developed for export to Asia. 6 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
Monday, March 11, 8:49 AM Sasol (SSL) reports a drop in half-year profit as a result of one-time charges coming from its Iranian and Mozambique business. CEO David Constable says SSL is in talks with a buyer to finalize a deal for its 50% stake in a $900M Iranian petrochemical project. 1 Comment [Energy, Earnings, Global & FX]
Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 11:55 AM NYT examines the next big opportunity in the U.S. energy market: turning natural gas into liquid fuel. South Africa-based Sasol (SSL), whose plant in Qatar makes 32K bbl/day of liquid fuels, plans to spend up to $14B to build the first gas-to-liquids plant in the U.S. But opinions vary widely: Exxon (XOM) doesn't see GTL as a relevant source of fuels for another 20 years. 7 Comments [Energy, Global & FX]
Monday, December 3, 2012, 10:50 AM Sasol (SSL -1.2%), the world's top producer of motor fuel from coal, says it is going ahead with the construction of a gas-to-liquids plant in the U.S. but the cost will be as much as $6B higher than previously estimated, due to 30% of the fuels being upgraded to "high value chemicals" and construction of the Louisiana-based plant taking place in two phases. 1 Comment [Energy]
Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 11:41 AM Citi’s analysts identify a handful of the world's energy providers they deem as "world champions" for investing in strong long-term growth prospects for emerging economies. Gazprom (OGZPY.PK) is irreplaceable on the European market, the firm says, but growth may be limited; South Africa's Sasol (SSL) is an alternative play to cheap shale gas. Also on the list: XOM, SLB. Comment! [Energy, Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
Monday, September 10, 2012, 11:16 AM Sasol (SSL +2.6%), the world's largest producer of motor fuels from coal, says it is planning an expansion drive in North America and is looking for a buyer for its Iranian plant. CEO David Constable says SSL may build a gas-to-liquids plant in Louisiana that would produce 96K barrels of mostly diesel per day, and will decide by year's end whether to build a 48K bbl/day plant in Canada. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]
Thursday, June 28, 2012, 10:05 AM Talisman Energy (TLM +3.2%) decides not to proceed in the next phase of Sasol's (SSL -0.7%) gas-to-liquids plant in western Canada after concluding a feasibility study. "Talisman's immediate focus is to accelerate investment in near-term liquids opportunities, with the goal of increasing liquids and oil-linked gas production to 300K bbl/day by 2015," TLM says.

Monday, March 12, 2012, 12:54 PM South African oil major Sasol (SSL -2.1%) reports earnings of $1.8B for 2011 H2, up from $980M a year earlier, roughly inline with estimates. Profits benefited from a 16% decline in the rand (SZR) as well as higher crude prices. Comment! [Global & FX, Energy]
Thursday, December 1, 2011, 6:28 AM Sasol (SSL) could invest up to $4.5B to build a factory that would use low-cost natural gas to make ethylene and related chemicals in Louisiana. The South African company aims to complete a feasibility study by June 2013. Comment!
Monday, May 16, 2011, 2:34 PM Bullish on the price of natural gas because of events in Japan, Sasol (SSL) CEO Pat Davies is happy to continue to acquire producing properties and shift his company's focus from coal to gas-to-liquids projects. "What we’re seeing here is the start of a new industry." Comment! [Global & FX, Commodities, Energy]
Tuesday, March 8, 2011, 8:20 AM Sasol (SSL) will pay $1.1B to buy Talisman's (TLM) acreage in the Montney Shale region of British Columbia. PetroChina (PTR) paid $5.4B last month for a 50% stake in EnCana's (ECA) project in the same region. Comment!
Monday, December 20, 2010, 7:36 AM Sasol (SSL) will pay C$1.05B ($1.04B) for a 50% stake in Talisman's (TLM) Farrell Creek shale gas assets. The firms will also jointly study the economic viability of a western Canada gas-to-liquid facility and collaborate on other 'gas opportunities.' (PR) Comment!
