They won't make a decision on the GTL until they are about 18-24 months into construction for the Cracker.

So there is still a chance that they won't do the GTL? Isn't the GTL project something like 30 times as big as the cracker project?

Yes, there still is a chance they will not proceed with the GTL. If you look at the project as a whole, Cracker is about $10 Billion, and the GTL is $20 Billion. Sasol isn't like Chevron, Shell, Exxon, Etc. being that they don't have Billions in cash, so Sasol has to go to market to fund this project. That's why they are waiting to make a decision to proceed on GTL.
