Prior to the divestment, INPEX held multiple tight oil development and production assets (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Project) in the area through its subsidiary, INPEX Americas, Inc., and was engaged in the development, production and marketing of tight oil as the Operator of most of the Project since acquiring the Project in April 2019.
