Oil consumption in SG is wrongly over estimated by many
times
I cant bear with this non sense any more.
i am suprised that no one come forward to clarify this
simple
thing.
U can read from sources below that daily consumption in
Singapore SG
is over 900,000 barrels a day!!
I have checked the average oil consumption in 6 Asia
countrie/city
are just 37,000 to 46,000 barrels
per day per one million population .
How can Singapore consume 192,000
barrels per day per
one million population,giving the
fact
that 80% of electricity generation is powered by natural
gas?
THIS IS TOTALLY NON SENSE.
This is not the worst.The worst is no one in academic circles
and governmant
come forward to retify this mistake in the past few decades.
So,Singapore has been ranked one of the worst in energy
consumption
per capita for few decades!!
Lest us look at the figures--
Domestic Oil consumption

I refer'' Domestic oil consumption ''as oil consumption used
for
running daily life ,buy not for producing exports.

Singapore is unusual in having oil refining capacity of
nearly twice its domestic
petroleum products consumption.

The
continuing build-up of oil terminals on Jurong Island suggests that
in a crisis, there is more than enough oil stored here to last the
republic a whole year - given Singapore's small domestic
consumption of just 70,000 barrels
per day.
