ENEOS Xplora is engaged in the development and production of oil and natural gas in Japan and around the world as one of the principal operating companies of the ENEOS Group, Japan's largest energy, resources and materials conglomerate.

The business environment surrounding oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuels is becoming increasingly challenging as the response to climate change becomes a common issue worldwide and the movement toward carbon neutrality accelerates.

Under the business environment, we advocate "Two-Pronged" approach focusing on the oil and natural gas development and production business as the "fundamental business," and as another prong, environment-friendly business centered on CCS / CCUS as the "growth business."

Effective January 2025, to show our intention to accelerate environment-friendly business, we have changed our company name from "JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration," which only means the oil exploration and production business, to "ENEOS Xplora," which could be imagined signifying a broader business scope.

"X" in our new company name, embodies not only the meaning of "Exploration", which is the business we have devoted our passion and pride to, but also our thoughts and determination towards "Infinity", "Future", "Innovation", and "Challenge to the unknown".

While the safe and stable supply of energy has always been and will continue to be our mission, in order to create greater social value within the carbon neutral trend, guided by our corporate philosophy, "Explore the EARTH and Create Value", we will leverage our subsurface technology and innovative creativity to be a key player working towards a sustainable society.
