Sasol has a strong pipeline of growth projects across the world and is seeking further opportunities both in upstream gas 

our growth opportunities worldwide 

In line with our strategic intent, Sasol is pursuing local and international opportunities to grow our upstream asset base, and leverage our proprietary Fischer-Tropsch conversion technology to develop new GTL and CTL facilities. Recent technology developments in the cost-effective extraction of shale gas, and resulting lower gas prices, present a significant opportunity for the expansion of our GTL value proposition. We continue to develop a number of CTL opportunities and are also progressing plans to expand our chemicals businesses.

SPI and partners, Chesapeake and Statoil, have been awarded a petroleum technical cooperation permit to assess the prospective shale gas resource in the Karoo Basin. The board has approved a R8,4 billion plan to double hard wax production  in South Africa. We expect the fi rst phase to come into operation in 2012, and the second in 2014.
