LNG

Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex), which operates the main LNG import terminal in Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture and has a stake in an LNG receiving terminal in the Vietnamese port city of Haiphong, said it was also planning to expand its shale oil and gas interests in the US.

Toyo Engineering Corp. of Japan, an expert in gas processing projects and LNG import terminals, is discussing an engineering alliance with Japanese offshore platform construction company MODEC to maintain stable global oil and gas supplies in the years ahead.
