Description

Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) is a governmental organization which was founded in 2004 by integrating the functions of the Japan National Oil Corporation (JNOC) and the Metal Mining Agency of Japan (MMAJ). Its primary mission is to secure stable supplies of oil, gas and mineral resources for Japan. The function has been expanded to coal and geothermal energy development since 2012.

JOGMEC promotes E&P activities of Japanese industries overseas through financial supports, such as equity investment and liability guarantees based on its technical evaluation. JOGMEC & JNOC have provided these supports to over 340 projects worldwide since 1960’s.

Besides financial assistance, JOGMEC conducts technological activities for upstream businesses from exploration to production & operation, such as geological and geophysical surveys, field development planning, and pilot production tests etc.

JOGMEC also collaborates with oil and gas producing countries by providing training programs to their geoscientists and engineers and by conducting joint R&D activities with governmental organizations and NOCs.
