INPEX Raises Ichthys LNG Stake to 68.555% After Exercising Pre-Emptive Rights
Japan's INPEX has agreed to acquire an additional 0.735% interest in the Ichthys LNG project in Australia from subsidiaries of JERA, lifting its participating interest from 67.82% to 68.555% subject to Australian regulatory approvals. The acquisition covers JERA's interest in offshore blocks WA-50-L and WA-51-L, which contain the Ichthys gas-condensate field, as well as its stake in Ichthys LNG Pty Ltd, the company that owns the project's export pipeline and downstream liquefaction facilities. The deal stems from JERA's December 2025 agreement to sell its Australian project subsidiary, including the 0.735% Ichthys interest, to MidOcean Energy, and INPEX elected to exercise its pre-emptive rights over the stake under the project's joint operating and shareholder agreements. Ichthys, operated by INPEX, has LNG production capacity of around 9.3 million metric tons per year, alongside approximately 1.65 million tons of LPG and peak condensate production of about 100,000 barrels per day, with production having begun in 2018. Sales contracts cover about 8.4 million tons of annual LNG production, with roughly 70% destined for Japanese buyers, and annual Ichthys output is equivalent to more than 10% of Japan's LNG imports. The purchase continues INPEX's gradual consolidation of Ichthys, following its 2024 agreement to acquire Tokyo Gas' 1.575% interest, which raised its ownership from 66.245% to the current 67.82%, and INPEX said the additional JERA stake fits its Vision 2035 strategy and expects only a minimal effect on its consolidated financial results.

Eni Secures 100% Interest in Indonesia's Sapukala Offshore Block
Eni S.p.A. has secured a 100% participating interest in the Sapukala offshore exploration block in Indonesia's Kutei Basin, East Kalimantan, where water depths run approximately 1,000-2,500 meters. The award follows a joint study by Eni with a well-known Indonesian academic institution and participation in the country's direct-offer tender process. The block sits close to the planned North Hub developments, operated by Searah, the 50:50 joint venture between Eni and Malaysia's PETRONAS, which include major gas and condensate discoveries such as Geng North, Gula and Geliga. Under the initial three-year program disclosed by Indonesia, Eni was responsible for geological and geophysical studies and for acquiring and processing 3D seismic data covering 1,500 square kilometers of the block, work the company says will guide future drilling and investment decisions. Eni has operated in Indonesia since 2001 and currently runs the Peri-Mahakam and Makassar Strait blocks directly.

Wison New Energies Unveils Floating Data Center Concept at Gastech 2026
Wison New Energies unveiled a floating data center concept at the Gastech 2026 conference in Bangkok, pairing its Floating Storage Regasification to Power technology with modular data-center infrastructure on a single offshore platform. The Floating Power Data Center, or FPDC, stores and regasifies LNG onboard and converts it directly to electricity for onsite computing racks, and the company is examining whether cold energy released during regasification could help cool the servers. The concept responds to mounting constraints on land-based data centers in the U.S., including multi-year grid interconnection queues, water-cooling objections and scarce land near metro and fiber hubs, as well as political backlash such as Texas Governor Greg Abbott's August directive to pause the state's data center permitting process pending a review of water and energy usage. Wison's most recent proof point in offshore execution came this summer, when it signed the EPCIC contract for the Baleine Phase 3 FPSO serving Eni's offshore field in Côte d'Ivoire, a nearly 308-meter facility designed to process 90,000 barrels of oil a day. At Gastech, Wison also signed a collaboration agreement with Shell to integrate Shell's Dual Mixed Refrigerant liquefaction technology into its floating LNG portfolio, the first time the process will be available across the wider FLNG market, and a strategic memorandum of understanding with Houston-based KBR covering engineering, advisory services and integrated project solutions. Norway's DNV granted the world's first FLNG ABATE Notation FEED Approval for Wison's Low Emission FLNG, and the Houston-headquartered American Bureau of Shipping granted Approval in Principle for Wison's Floating Storage and Regasification Unit design for ammonia.
