refining center, Singapore is ranked third in the world after Houston and Rotterdam in the Netherlands in the United States. Singapore refinery has averaged 1.3 million barrels per day. And Singapore government expects Singapore will be refined up to 30 million barrels per day in 2573 the company refined oil major ExxonMobil is capable of refining up to 605,000 barrels / day, followed by Royal Dutch Shell 458,000 barrels /. and Singapore Petroleum Company (SPC) 273,600 barrel / day is to be noted that Singapore, which has no oil in it.

The Singapore government is trying to reduce dependence on natural gas from Indonesia and Malaysia. By turning to LNG gas more because many countries there are also LNG has many advantages over natural gas prices relatively stable. Because LNG contracts are long-term contracts. Unlike natural gas, which is correlated with oil prices, the government plans to build a Liquefied Natural Gas Import Terminal, which is expected to be completed in 2555.
