The Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (or JOGMEC), is a Japanese government Independent Administrative Institution which was created in 2004 when the former Japan National Oil Corporation merged with the former Metal Mining Agency of Japan.
Business in Russia
Mitsui and JOGMEC own shares of 10% in Arctic LNG 2. Companies from China, Japan and France refused to finance Russia's large LNG project due to sanctions. We are talking about the Chinese CNPC and CNOOC, the Japanese Mitsui and JOGMEC consortium, as well as the French TotalEnergies. Each of them owns 10% of Arctic LNG-2, and 60% belongs to NOVATEK. At the same time, Mitsui's joint venture with Japan's JOGMEC is expected to retain its stakes in the Arctic LNG 2, the report said.
