Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS)
Description
Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS), was incorporated by the Korean government in 1983. The company
is seeking to take the lead in the global liquefied natural gas market on the strength of its solid leadership in the South Korean market and continued investment at home and abroad.
The state-run company currently provides natural gas to more than 90 percent of the nation with its 72 natural gas storage facilities and pipes measuring a combined 4,848 kilometers in length.
The corporation is currently carrying out LNG projects in Mozambique, Canada, Australia, Yemen, Indonesia, Qatar, Oman and Australia.
Kogas is now expanding its business in the global market and is participating in 13 exploration and production projects, eight LNG projects and four infrastructure projects in nations including Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Iraq, Mexico, Oman and Uzbekistan.
In Area 4 of the Rovuma basin in northern Mozambique, Kogas is pursuing the Coral floating LNG and Rovuma LNG projects, the largest in Korea’s resource development history. In Myanmar, it also succeeded in producing natural gas from the nation’s A-1/A-3 offshore wells.
Three early-stage exploration projects are currently underway in Cyprus, East Timor and Indonesia.
KOGAS has successfully expanded its scope of business from mere import and distribution of natural gas, to global projects including exploration and production, enabling them to secure a stable supply of energy and expand their business portfolios.
Outside of Korea, the company's exploration projects are ongoing in Mozambique, Indonesia, Iraq, East Timor and Cyprus.
