Inpex Corporation (OTCMKTS:IPXHY) is Japan’s largest oil and gas exploration and production company, engaged in the upstream sector of the energy industry. The company’s activities span the full hydrocarbon value chain from resource exploration and development to production and sales. Inpex focuses primarily on the discovery and extraction of oil and natural gas reserves, with a special emphasis on liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to meet growing global energy demand.
Key projects in Inpex’s portfolio include the Ichthys LNG project off the coast of Western Australia, one of the world’s largest LNG developments, and the Abadi LNG project in Indonesia’s Masela Block. The company also maintains exploration and production interests in the Middle East, North Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. Through these initiatives, Inpex delivers crude oil, natural gas and LNG to a diverse customer base across Asia, Europe and North America.
Founded in 1966 as the Japan National Oil Corporation, Inpex underwent privatization and restructuring in the early 2000s before adopting its current name. Its transformation into a publicly traded entity allowed the company to expand its international footprint and pursue strategic partnerships with national oil companies and global energy firms. Over the decades, Inpex has built a reputation for technical expertise, particularly in deepwater exploration and LNG project management.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Inpex is led by President and CEO Takehiro Honma, supported by a leadership team with extensive experience in both engineering and finance. The company employs a multidisciplinary workforce positioned across regional offices in Asia, Oceania, the Middle East and Africa. Emphasizing sustainability and responsible resource development, Inpex continues to explore new technologies and partnerships aimed at reducing environmental impact while securing reliable energy supplies for its customers.
