INPEX acquired an interest in block WA-155-P (Part I) in July 1999 through its subsidiary, INPEX Alpha, Ltd. The Van Gogh oil field was discovered in 2003, and a production license was granted as WA-35-L in 2008. After transitioning to development in 2007, we began production of crude oil in February 2010. From the start of production until the end of September 2024 we have cumulatively produced approximately 59.8 million barrels (including the Coniston oil field) and are continuing stable operations.
