「・Begin exploratory drilling operations off Tomakomai, Hokkaido, under the CCS Business Act」
For CCS/CCUS, the Company has progressed from the previous survey, design, and demonstration stages to the stage of beginning exploratory drilling operations off Tomakomai under the CCS Business Act. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「・Advance preparations targeting FID during fiscal 2025 for the Dry Piney project in the U.S. ・Begin CO2 injection testing at the Sukowati oil field in Indonesia, in cooperation with Pertamina Remigas ・Win contracts for surveys in the Tomakomai area, the Higashi-Niigata area, and Sarawak, Malaysia, jointly proposed by the Company and other companies under a public solicitation for “design work and other activities related to advanced CCS projects” ・Begin FEED work on onshore terminal and jetty-topside receiving-related structures for a CCS project in Sarawak, Malaysia」
For CCS/CCUS, preparations for FID on a U.S. project, CO2 injection testing in Indonesia, commissioned surveys in Japan and overseas, and the start of FEED work in Malaysia have made the demonstration, design, and commercialization preparations more concrete. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「・Evaluation of an overseas CCS project (acquisition of an equity interest in Blue Spruce Operating LLC, which owns acreage in southwestern Wyoming, U.S.) ・Feasibility study for overseas CCS/CCUS (CO2-EOR at the Sukowati oil field in Indonesia, in cooperation with Pertamina Remigas)」
In addition to the domestic model project target, the Company has made its evaluation of overseas projects more concrete, including its equity investment in Blue Spruce in the U.S., CO2-EOR in Indonesia, and CCUS in Malaysia. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「Launch a hub-and-cluster CCS/CCUS model project using the Company’s existing domestic oil and gas fields and other assets by fiscal 2030.」
The policy for CCS/CCUS has been made more concrete, with a target of launching by fiscal 2030 a hub-and-cluster model project using existing domestic oil and gas fields and other assets. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「As a leading company in Japan, we aim to achieve the early practical application and commercialisation of CCS/CCUS. ・Maximise the use of our strengths developed through oil and natural gas E&P, including surveys and selection of candidate sites, such as deep saline aquifers, drilling injection wells and monitoring stored CO2」
The previous policy of taking a leading role in bringing CCS into practical use has been developed into specific action items: early commercialization and business development of CCS/CCUS, selection of candidate sites, injection-well drilling, and monitoring. - FY2020RestatedAnnual report
「We will play a leading role in the practical application of CCS technology, which is expected to contribute to offsetting CO2 emissions, by leveraging the E&P subsurface technologies we have developed.」
The company continues to pursue a policy of playing a leading role in the practical application of CCS by leveraging its E&P subsurface technologies. - FY2018RaisedAnnual report
「We will play a leading role in the practical application of CCS technology, which is expected to contribute to offsetting CO2 emissions, by leveraging the E&P subsurface technologies we have developed.」
The company has moved beyond promoting CCS demonstration projects and establishing requirements for commercialisation by private-sector businesses, setting the goal of playing a leading role in the practical application of CCS by leveraging its E&P subsurface technologies. - FY2017RestatedAnnual report
