Abstract

As we know, proven oil reserves in the world have decreased, as well as in Indonesia. Currently, proven oil reserves in Indonesia is about 2.483,97 MMSTB in 2019. Assuming a constant production without the discovery of new reserves, then in the next 10 to 11 years Indonesia will not be able to produce petroleum anymore. On the other hand, compared to proven petroleum reserves in Indonesia, proven natural gas reserves in Indonesia are quite large. It is around 49,74 TSCF in 2019. And the reserve to production is about 34 years since 2009 to 2018. Therefore, in this work, a syngas to synfuel plant has been prepared as a contribution for preparation of a shifting from producing fuel with petroleum as raw material, to fuel with natural gas as raw material. Particularly for eastern Indonesia, where access to several areas is difficult to reach so that the distribution of gas products is less relevant.
