| Abstract | North Sumatra is a region of Indonesia with excellent potential of energy resources. There are many oil and gas fields which have supported the national income and increased its GNP. In the past few decades, the depletion of proven oil and gas resources have caused a problem for the long tern National energy supply. The remaining oil and gas resources to be exploited up to the end of the 1990s are about 230 MMBOE. On the other hand, there are at least 17 high temperature geothermal systems in Northern Sumatra with a total potential of about This gives a very strong incentive for the development of geothermal energy by the year in North Sumatra. |
