INPEX with Centrica awarded an offshore Exploration Licence in the UK Continental Shelf
INPEX CORPORATION (INPEX) is pleased to announce that INPEX was successful in the 27th Seaward Licensing Round in UK, and was granted an offshore Exploration Licence P2019 in the North Sea, jointly with Centrica Resources Limited (Centrica), a subsidiary of Centrica plc, a UK-listed energy company and Statoil (U.K.) Limited (Statoil), a subsidiary of Statoil ASA, a Norwegian-listed oil company, in addition to the earlier awarded two licensces(*) in the Round.

(*) INPEX successfully acquired two licences in the 27th Seaward Licensing Round, P2057 Licence (consisting of 214/28c block and 214/29c block) and P 2066 Licence (214/30b block).

The P2019 Licence is located offshore approximately 60km northwest of Shetland Island, to the north of the earlier awarded two Licences. The licence is Operated by Centrica who have a 35% participating interest while INPEX holds a 30% participating interest and Statoil holds a 35% participating interest respectively in the same manner as the existing two Licences. The Joint venture plans to carry out seismic interpretation to explore for oil and natural gas in these Licences.



The offshore area near the Shetland Islands, where the Licences INPEX acquired lie, is an area scarcely explored and INPEX hopes for a significant oil and natural gas discovery.
