is a compilation of history, data facts, experiences gathered and hear-say/gossip heard by Peter Tijm on the largest and most powerful industry in the world.

An industry which has played critical and dramatic roles in world events, from the Second World War, Pearl Harbor to the most recent Iraq Wars. An industry that plays a role in every commodity around us, and an industry that can raise the two most powerful men in the world, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, from oilmen to President and Vice President of the United States.
In a career of thirty plus years in the industry, Peter has had the unique opportunity to be part of the total development chain, from the inception of the idea to technology development to the final construction of a plant and the utilization of products in the Fischer-Tropsch technology. He enjoys the friendship and cooperation of so many prime players in the industry. Here is your chance to see the competition in the GTL industry through the eyes of an insider!
