Japan's Inpex to buy stake in Australian Browse gas field from PetroChina

M&A & RestructuringEnergy Markets & PricesCommodities & Raw MaterialsCorporate Fundamentals

Inpex said it will buy PetroChina's 10% stake in the Browse gas fields offshore Western Australia, the country's largest undeveloped gas resource. The transaction gives Inpex greater exposure to a major long-duration gas asset, while reducing PetroChina's position in the project. The announcement is strategically positive for Inpex but is mainly a deal update rather than a broad market-moving catalyst.
