JOGMEC (Headquarters: Tokyo, President: Hirobumi Kawano) plans to launch the "Project for Promotion of Innovative Technologies" from FY2013 with the purpose of strengthening relationships with resource-rich countries.
Prior to its start, JOGMEC held the "JOGMEC Pre-Techno Forum" on January 28, 2013, with the purpose of introducing JOGMEC's activities to Japanese companies with innovative and cutting-edge technologies that are currently not directly used in oil and gas industries.
JOGMEC plans to host the "JOGMEC Techno Forum 2013" on May 7-8, 2013 in Tokyo, where JOGMEC introduces trends in oil and gas development and technologies with guests from several foreign national oil companies. The forum includes panel discussions as well as introduction of JOGMEC’s initiatives for technological innovation.
In the recent years, resource-rich countries and their national oil and gas companies face diversifying technological challenges, and there are rising expectations for innovative Japanese technologies.
Starting from FY2013, JOGMEC will launch the "Project for Promotion of Innovative Technologies," also known as the "New Initiative." Through this initiative, JOGMEC utilizes cutting-edge technologies possessed by innovative Japanese companies, universities and research institutes, and by utilizing these technologies previously not directly related to oil and gas, JOGMEC plans to assist resource-rich countries in overcoming their technological needs.
In advance of the start of the "Project for Promotion of Innovative Technologies," JOGMEC hosted the "JOGMEC Pre-Techno Forum."

The Pre-Techno Forum attracted 230 participants from various innovative Japanese industries. From the opening of the Forum, it was almost full-house, and as the day progressed, more participants entered. The introduction of the New Initiative was well-received by the audience, and Session 2 "Water-Treatment Technologies" and Panel Discussion "Carbon Management" with PetroVietnam representatives were particularly well-received. Several innovative Japanese companies had an opportunity to book individual sessions with PetroVietnam, leading to fruitful discussions. Furthermore, after the Pre-Techno Forum, several innovative Japanese companies had an opportunity to book individual sessions with JOGMEC.
Some comments we have received from the audience are below :
"It was a unique opportunity to learn about technological challenges and collaborative research activities with representatives of JOGMEC, innovative companies, and PetroVietnam."
"Our company specializes in new materials, and we would like to enter oil and gas business. However, we didn’t know how to enter, and JOGMEC has given us a new perspective. We would like this kind of forum to continue."
JOGMEC will host the "JOGMEC Techno Forum 2013" in May, which will have increased forum contents.
