Singapore Overview

Singapore: Trade and Technology

The lack of resources in the ground might initially suggest a country with a fairly stagnant hydrocarbons industry, but Singapore is anything but. A major trading centre and a hub for oilfield technology, the city-state plays a pivotal role in the Southeast Asian energy landscape.

Due to its favourable tax regime, strategic location, transportation infrastructure and stable political climate, Singapore has come to serve as a base for oil and gas companies involved in exploration and production activities in Southeast Asia. The diminutive city-state has become a magnet for international oil companies.
