Company Overview

INPEX Corporation, known on the OTC Markets as IPXHF, is Japan’s largest exploration and production company focused on upstream oil and natural gas activities. Headquartered in Tokyo, the company engages in the exploration, development, production and sale of hydrocarbon resources.

INPEX is the operator and majority interest holder in the Ichthys LNG Project off the northwest coast of Australia, one of its flagship developments. Other significant projects include gas developments in Indonesia and exploration licenses in the Middle East, Africa and North America. These projects are managed through joint ventures and partnerships with other major energy companies and national oil companies.

Established in the mid-1960s as a government entity and later privatized and merged with Teikoku Oil in 2008, INPEX has evolved to become a global player in energy supply. Over its history, the company has combined Japanese technological expertise with international collaborations to advance reservoir characterization, drilling efficiency and environmental management. Its upstream focus is supported by research and development activities aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and enhancing operational safety.

INPEX serves both domestic and international markets, supplying natural gas to utilities and industrial users in Japan and exporting LNG under long-term contracts. The company is led by a management team with extensive experience in energy project development and international operations. Through a strategic emphasis on natural gas as a bridge fuel in the transition to lower-carbon economies, INPEX continues to explore new resource opportunities while maintaining reliability for its customers and partners worldwide.
