Environmental Impact of Our Business Activities

Continuing from fiscal 2009, in fiscal 2010 the INPEX Group endeavored to reduce its environmental impact by implementing a range of measures to curb greenhouse gas and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. These measures included flaring vented gas, capturing and combusting exhaust gas, retrofitting oil tanks with internal floating roofs, and installing and improving existing VOC removal systems.

Exploration, Development, and Construction
We search for underground geological structures that may contain crude oil and natural gas, and drill exploratory wells in promising locations. If the existence of sufficient reserves is confirmed, we construct necessary facilities by drilling production wells, building production facilities and receiving terminals, and laying pipelines. An LNG receiving terminal is currently being constructed in Japan.
Production and Power Generation
When crude oil and natural gas are extracted from underground at our oil and gas fields, impurities such as moisture and carbon dioxide are removed from them to make them ready for transportation. Electricity is generated at a power plant powered by natural gas and condensate (liquid components of natural gas liquefied above ground).
Refining, Transportation, and Sales
Crude oil is transported to a refinery, where it is refined into petroleum products such as naphtha and kerosene for later sale.Natural gas is transported directly from plants to customers via pipelines. The Naruto Gas Field in Chiba Prefecture processes and sells iodine, a byproduct of natural gas.
INPUT TOTAL/OUTPUT TOTAL
Consumption and Utilization : Petroleum products and natural gas are sold to and utilized by plants, gas stations, power plants, utility gas companies, hospitals, offices, and homes. The electricity we generate is wholesaled to PPSs.
Note:
The input and output data for fiscal 2010 shown on this page constitute the sum of all the HSE data collected from our operations in Japan and overseas. As the listed figures are rounded off to the nearest whole number, numbers for each stage may not match the total figures.
1. Includes some fuel produced by INPEX CORPORATION
2. Data on the output of PRTR substances was collected only from our operations in Japan
3. Wastewater includes water pumped from a water well at Teiseki Topping Plant.
