據油田技術1月18日消息稱，INPEX曾表示，計劃在日本島根縣和山口縣近海進行勘探鉆探，以探索尋找石油和天然氣資源的可能性。

自2010年代初以來，INPEX在島根縣和福岡縣近海地區開展了地球物理勘探和評價活動，這些地區預計將建立油氣田。

這些鉆井作業以及隨后的地球物理勘探和評價活動的結果提高了對島根縣和山口縣近海石油和天然氣資源位置的預期。

鉆探計劃于2022年3月至7月進行。

2021年12月27日，該項目被選為有資格獲得日本石油、天然氣和金屬國家公司(JOGMEC)的股權融資。

INPEX to carry out exploratory drilling offshore Japan

INPEX has said it is planning to carry out exploratory drilling offshore Shimane and Yamaguchi prefectures in Japan to explore the possibility of locating oil and natural gas resources.

Since the early 2010s, INPEX has conducted geophysical exploration and evaluation activities in areas offshore Shimane and Fukuoka prefectures where the establishment of oil and gas fields is expected.

The results of these drilling operations as well as subsequent geophysical exploration and evaluation activities have raised expectations for the location of oil and natural gas resources offshore Shimane and Yamaguchi prefectures.

The drilling is planned to take place from March to July 2022.

On 27 December 2021, the project was selected as eligible to receive equity financing from the Japan Oil, Gas and metals National Corp. (JOGMEC).?
