        Combination of the Fischer-Tropsch process and the natural gas-steam reaction to produce liquid hydrocarbon fractions on a favorable economic basis could result in an enormous amount of natural gas being used, thereby depleting our natural-gas reserves.  The operation of pilot plants indicates a favorable economic conversion with plans for at least 1 commercial plant underway.
