President's Message

President and CEO Yasuhiko OshidaPresident and CEO Yasuhiko Oshida

ENEOS Xplora is engaged in the development and production of oil and natural gas both domestically and internationally, functioning as a core operating entity within the ENEOS Group, the largest energy, resources, and materials corporation in Japan. In addition to these activities, we are actively enhancing our CCUS (Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage) operations in the United States.

Recognizing the critical global transition toward carbon neutrality, we have adopted a strategic "Two-Pronged" approach. The first prong, “Foundation business”, is committed to the development and production of oil and natural gas, ensuring a reliable energy supply throughout this period of change. While leveraging our foundational business strengths, we are equally dedicated to the second prong, "Environmental solutions business", which emphasizes sustainable growth through environmentally friendly initiatives, particularly those involving CCS/CCUS technologies.

To clearly reflect this strategic focus, we have renamed our company from "JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corporation" to "ENEOS Xplora Inc." effective January 1, 2025. The 'X' in our new name embodies not only "Exploration", our core business, but also represents "Infinity", "Future", "Innovation" and "Challenging the Unknown".

Guided by our corporate philosophy, "Explore the EARTH and Create Value", we leverage our subsurface technology and innovative creativity to ensure a stable supply of energy, all while striving to create new value in the pursuit of a sustainable society.
