Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp. (JOGMAC) and the Canadian province of British Columbia will work together to develop the province’s natural resources, according to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed at the end of May.
Under the MOU, JOGMEC and British Colombia will exchange information, examine market opportunities and collaborate on technologies to develop the province’s LNG and coal resources. It extends an existing MOU signed in 2012 that focused on implementation on gas-to-liquids technologies.
“JOGMEC believes that this MOU will further strengthen JOGMEC’s collaborative relations with the Province of British Columbia, which holds abundant unconventional gas and coal resources,” the Japanese state-owned company said in a press release.
