Project Profile
Value: US$1.80 billion
Location: Joetsu City, Japan
Production: Approx. 126 MMcf
Start-up Year: 1984
Discovered in 1979 and in production since 1984, the Minami-Nagaoka Gas Field is one of the largest in Japan. After processing, the natural gas is transported through a 1,400-kilometre trunk pipeline network stretching across the Kanto and Koshinetsu regions that surround the greater Tokyo metropolitan. Most users of the natural gas are in Niigata Prefecture, due to its proximity to the Minami-Nagaoka Gas Field, followed by customers in Gunma, Saitama and Nagano prefectures.
