Inpex Corporation Overview

Pro stress-test →

Inpex is Japan's largest oil and gas exploration and production company, with global exploration, development and production projects in 20 countries. It produces around 230 million barrels of oil equivalent per year with 6.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent in proven and probable reserves. The company's strength lies in flagship projects like the Ichthys LNG facility in Australia and its domestic Minami-Nagaoka gas field.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

Inpex diversifies its global footprint through projects and partnerships spanning continents, from Australia's Ichthys LNG Project to collaborative ventures in the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, with Ichthys being a cornerstone of its portfolio showcasing capabilities in liquefied natural gas production. The company introduced the 'Profit Booster 500' initiative, targeting structural profit gains of about JPY 50 billion per year for the next 10 years.
