Inpex Corp
Inpex Corp is Japan’s largest oil and gas exploration and production company. It looks for underground energy reserves, develops oil and gas fields, and produces crude oil and natural gas from those fields. It also handles parts of the engineering and project work needed to bring those resources to market, including liquefied natural gas projects in some regions. The company sells oil and gas to utilities, refiners, industrial users, and energy traders, and it earns money mainly by producing and selling those hydrocarbons. Much of its business comes from long-life resource projects, joint ventures with other energy companies, and contracts tied to field development, transportation, and LNG supply. Because it sits upstream in the energy chain, its business depends on finding reserves, managing large projects, and keeping production flowing reliably. What makes Inpex different is that it is not a fuel retailer or a general energy company; it is a resource developer and producer. That means its value comes from access to oil and gas reserves, technical know-how, and the ability to turn remote or difficult deposits into saleable energy. As Japan’s leading upstream player, it also plays a strategic role in helping secure energy supply for the country and nearby markets.

Record profit: INPEX reported first-half profit of JPY 263.1 billion, its highest ever, and kept its full-year net profit forecast at JPY 510 billion, also a record.
Abu Dhabi disruption: Sales volumes from Abu Dhabi fell by about 30% because exports through the Strait of Hormuz were constrained, but the hit was offset by stronger results elsewhere in the portfolio.
Abadi progress: The Abadi LNG project is advancing through FEED and marketing, with management saying the biggest hurdles are cost reduction and then any remaining government incentive discussions.
Returns: The company plans to pay JPY 112 per share in dividends, up JPY 12 from last year, and buy back about JPY 140 billion of stock, with a total payout ratio of about 53%.
Cash flow: Operating cash flow is expected to exceed JPY 1 trillion, while investment cash flow is forecast at JPY 859 billion, including cash set aside for Abadi.
Portfolio view: Management stressed that diversification across Australia, Abu Dhabi, Asia, Europe, and Japan helped absorb the Middle East shock and supports longer-term growth.
