Japan
Offshore Niigata
After obtaining offshore mining rights for south of Hokkaido, Akita, Niigata, and the Noto Peninsula, Idemitsu conducted exploration activities in the area from 1966. As a result of such exploration activites, we discovered the Aga-oki, the Aga-oki-kita, and the Iwafune-oki oil and gas fields in offshore Niigata.
Currently we are focusing our operations near these fields in an attempt to discover new oil and gas fields.
