2633.     PETROLEUM ENGINEER.  Synthetic Fuels Made From Dry Gas.  Vol. 18, No. 2, 1946, p. 64.

        A 10-bbl. per day experimental synthetic oil pilot plant is operating on natural gas at the Baton Rouge plant of the Standard Oil of New Jersey.  The technique was developed before and after the war, was used to produce 100-octane aviation gasoline during the war and is now being tested in the production of fuel for automotive equipment of all kinds.  These synthetic fuels are now being made from natural gas, but the process is applicable to coal as well and when perfected can serve to extent liquid fuel supplies indefinitely.
