Since its establishment, JAPEX has continued to develop an increasingly robust operating foundation by consistently discovering oil and gas fields. As a company whose core operations extend from oil and natural gas E&P through transportation to sales, our mission is to contribute to Japan's energy supplies by securing reserves and expanding production. In step with an expanding supply volume, JAPEX has come to bear an increasingly significant social responsibility in terms of ensuring reliable energy supplies for Japan. At the same time, JAPEX aims for growth as a competitive player in the market by focusing not only on increasing reserves, but also on augmenting natural gas transportation networks and other aspects of its operations. To achieve these goals, the Company has formulated the above Corporate Vision.
