Inpex Corp. has commenced drilling operations on an exploratory well offshore Shimane and Yamaguchi prefectures on June 5.
The drilling operations are part of a project commissioned by the Agency of Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan for the agency’s “Heisei 26~28 Domestic Offshore Drilling Program in Japan” as announced on July 30, 2015.
The drilling operations are being conducted at a location approximately 130km northwest of Shimane Prefecture and approximately 140km north of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Going forward, INPEX plans to determine the presence of hydrocarbon deposits in the area by conducting a detailed analysis and evaluation of data obtained through the exploratory drilling.
INPEX will prioritize safety throughout the execution of the project, keeping local communities fully informed and calling on their cooperation.
