The study has shown that there is insufficient basis to arrive at a positive investment decision. Groningen Seaports – the company that manages Eemshaven and the port of Delfzijl - has placed the 65-ha area that was reserved for the terminal back on the market. Discussions are currently already underway with interested candidates. This 65-ha site is the last area available in the Eemshaven situated immediately next to deep water. First Oil Production from the Ravensworth Field, Offshore Western Australia 1283346183|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover in 2003 at a water depth of 210m, is located approximately 45 kilometers off the coast of Exmouth, Western Australia and it straddles both WA-43-L and WA-42-L production license areas. The WA-43-L part of the Ravensworth field has been developed in conjunction with the BHP Billiton-operated Pyrenees oil development located in WA-42-L. The oil produced from WA-43-L is processed for offtake via the FPSO owned by the WA-42-L joint venture in accordance with the tie-in agreement made between WA-43-L and WA-42-L Joint Ventures. INPEX Alpha, Ltd. owns a 28.500% participating interest in the WA-43-L. The Joint Venture partners are BHP BP (39.999%), the operator, and Apache Corporation (31.501%). INPEX has been carrying out exploration, development and production activities widely in Australia including the Van Gogh oil field production and the large scale Ichthys project. INPEX is also involved in the Kitan oil field development and the Bayu-Undan gas/condensate field production in an area Health and Safety Hazards 1283168160|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover Construction jobsites are full of hazards, and concrete construction jobsites are no exception. These hazards can be dissected into categories for better reference as they pertain to various projects. Participation in the Nganzi Block, Onshore Western DR Congo 1282802341|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover INPEX CORPORATION (INPEX) is pleased to announce that it has been granted approval by the authority of the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) to acquire a 20% participating interest of the Nganzi Block with SOCO Exploration & Production DRC (SOCO), a subsidiary of SOCO International plc. The Nganzi Block is located onshore western part of the DR Congo, which covers an area of 800km2. In the Block, SOCO will continue to operate with a 65% participating interest, while the National Oil Company, La Congolaise des Hydrocarbures holds a 15% participating interest. Interpretation of the 360 kilometer of the 2D seismic is very encouraging with several large structures identified, three of which will be tested with the initial 2010 drilling programme. The Nganga well, the first well was spudded on 15 July. In the DR Congo, INPEX has a 32.28% interest in the Offshore DR Congo Block, which has been producing crude oil since 1975.

With the launch of TANEKO Refinery and Petrochemical Plants Complex the significance of Nizhnekamsk TPP will increase many times. Currently, mounting of steam system lines is in the process at the thermal power plant with hydraulic tests planned for September. The steam line is being installed at present. Later steam pipelines will be laid through the technological overpass 2.6 km long to connect subsequent stages of the complex. Calculations show that the existing equipment of Nizhnekamsk thermal power plant could yield a good profit without significant renovation and modernization, but subject to full loading of all its facilities. Turbines of the station are designed for cogeneration of heat and power. Supply of steam to TANECO complex will cause
