A message from Stuart Knowles
INPEX General Manager, Northern Territory

On behalf of the INPEX NT team, I’d like to acknowledge
outgoing General Manager Roland Houareau for his
leadership, passion, and hard work throughout the past few
years here in Darwin and wish him all the best with his nextrole within our New Energy Business Australia team.
In 2022, some four years since the commencement ofoperations at Ichthys LNG, we achieved an exceptional
milestone of 750 total cargoes safely exported. On a global
scale, these cargoes represent critical energy security to
several countries, including Japan. At a local level, thesecargoes represent significant contributions and positive
impacts through direct and indirect employment, taxation
payments, social investments and capital and operational
expenditure resulting in local contract work.
Looking ahead, our plan is to achieve many more great
milestones throughout this decade and continue tocontribute social and economic benefits and opportunities
within the NT.
In early 2022, INPEX CORPORATION released its longterm strategy and medium-term business plan, collectively
referred to as “INPEX Vision@2022”, which maps out ourcommitment to a net-zero carbon society by 2050, while
supporting society’s growing demand for secure, affordable,
and clean energy.
Simply put, our focus is on decarbonising our operations,while maintaining safe and stable production at Ichthys LNG,
for years to come.
In 2022, as international borders re-opened, we welcomed
many business visitors to Darwin, including INPEXCORPORATION President and CEO, Takayuki Ueda, who
was thrilled to return to his ‘second home’ where he was
overwhelmed at the warm hospitality he received. Ueda sancommented that returning to Darwin after the COVID-19
imposed hiatus and being welcomed by Territorians in sucha genuine way re-affirmed building the Ichthys LNG onshore
processing facilities in Darwin was the right decision.
INPEX CORPORATION and the Northern Territory
Government formally acknowledged mutual targets inJuly 2022 to transition to a net-zero carbon emissions future,with our Tokyo-based top management hosting the Hon
Natasha Fyles MLA on her first overseas business trip as Chief
Minister of the Northern Territory. Together, we signed

2“Our Commitment to Advancing Shared Interests Between
INPEX and the NT Government”.
In mid-2022, we safely completed our second major
maintenance campaign at Bladin Point, involving
approximately 1800 people and more than 135,000 work
hours. Pleasingly, this activity was completed safely andefficiently by our great team of people.
Throughout the year, INPEX and the Ichthys Joint Venture
continued to support our local community with highlights
including expanding our major partnership with the iconic
Darwin Festival and Energy Club NT as well as continuing
our existing partnerships with AFLNT, Australian Red
Cross’s Youth Shak, Australian Volunteer Coast Guard andFoodbank NT. We also embarked on a new partnershipwith the Starlight Foundation, providing support for theStarlight Express Room at Royal Darwin Hospital. At INPEX
we are pleased to be supporting positive outcomes in thecommunities we work alongside and live in, through our
long-term strategic partnerships.
Our A$ 90 million voluntary offsets programs also continued
to deliver benefits through the Aboriginal Ranger Grants
program, NT Farmers Association water productivity,
efficiency and sustainability project, Savanna Fire
Management program and the integrated marine monitoring
program in Darwin Harbour.
We continued to deliver the INPEX Stretch Reconciliation
Action Plan (RAP), through nurturing relationships with andcreating opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
peoples and have delivered tangible outcomes across a rangeof areas including employment and business engagement.
As I step into the General Manager NT role and reflect
over the past 12 months – it really has been a productive,
challenging and rewarding time for INPEX and I look forward
to working closely with my colleague Dave Dann, Onshore
Operations General Manager and leading the business in the
NT through the next chapter.
We sincerely thank everyone in the NT community for yoursupport in 2022 and onwards into 2023.
Kind regards,

Vision@2022

INPEX CEO Territory visit

In early 2022, INPEX CORPORATION released its Long-term
Strategy and Medium-term Business Plan – collectively
referred to as “INPEX Vision@2022” – and it had some very
good news for Australia.

In June, INPEX CORPORATION President and CEO Takayuki
Ueda returned to Darwin for the first time since 2019 andwas welcomed warmly back to the Territory.

INPEX Vision@2022 lays out the company’s updated longterm strategy towards 2030 and 2050 and builds on the‘Business Development Strategy - Towards a Net Zero
Carbon Society by 2050’ released in 2021, outlining INPEXCORPORATION’s climate change response goals and its
business strategies towards a net zero carbon society.
Our medium-term business plan highlights INPEX’s
specific goals from 2022 to 2024 and reflects the current
management environment and social landscape.

INPEX Toyko management team hosted the Hon Natasha Fyles
MLA on her first overseas business trip as Chief Minister of theNorthern Territory

During his visit, Ueda-san engaged with local businesses
and employees at a special breakfast at the Darwin Trailer
Boat Club, met with various NT stakeholders, visited
Ichthys LNG onshore facilities to speak with our staff; and awelcome reception was also held at Parliament House.
Ueda-san was very pleased to return to the Territory, hedescribed the experience of being back like receiving a“warm hug” and reiterated that Darwin was like a second
home for INPEX and the right place in which to build theIchthys LNG onshore facilities.

Okawa san, Ueda san and Tetsu enjoyed an afternoon
at the V8 Supercars.

INPEX is actively focused on increasing stable and clean
energy supply and security for the Asia/Oceania region, as
we contribute to a lower carbon future – as mapped out in
our INPEX Vision@2022, which states our intent to invest in
five net-zero businesses globally by 2030.
Also contributing to a cleaner product slate, by 2030,
INPEX’s gas to oil investment ratio will increase to 70:30
from approximately 50:50 today. We believe Australia andthe Northern Territory in particular, is well positioned tocontribute to the energy transition, while simultaneously
enhancing energy security in the region.
Australia has been identified as one of INPEXCORPORATION’s five core business areas along with
Europe, Abu Dhabi, Southeast Asia and Japan.

address during NT Resources week in August.

Local employment

Sea change for Hollie
Taking up the opportunity of a coveted INPEX Production
Technician Traineeship at the Ichthys LNG facilities
in Darwin was a life-changing decision for former
psychologist Hollie Smith.
Hollie is one of more than 25 locals who have taken
advantage of a two-year traineeship through the INPEX
Production Technician Traineeship Program to gain
extensive technical knowledge in hydrocarbon processing
and support systems, while developing skills to operate
process facilities.

Ashley Stephenson enjoys his role working at the Ichthys
LNG Onshore Facilities laboratory.

Close to home for Ashley
Ashley Stephensen worked as a lab technician for morethan a decade in the mining industry before securinga laboratory analyst position with INPEX in July 2021
as part of the Solid Pathways Program.
Ashley is Darwin born and bred and his family are
Woolwonga people from the Frances Creek area near
Pine Creek.
Initially Ashley found it difficult to transition from mining
to the energy industry until he joined the INPEX Solid
Pathways Program, which provides direct learning andemployment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander peoples in the energy industry.

After studying a Bachelor of Psychology in Perth, Hollie
transitioned into work health and safety roles for mining
companies in the Pilbara, before taking up a position withINPEX’s Health, Safety and Environment team and moving
to Darwin in 2014.
With support from her supervisor, Hollie’s career trajectorychanged dramatically when she was encouraged to enrol
in a traineeship to complete a Certificate III in Process
Operations as part of the INPEX Production Technician
traineeship program.
Hollie spends her days on the Ichthys LNG product loading
jetty in Darwin Harbour supporting the loading of LNG, LPG
and condensate onto enormous carriers that sit as high as
10-storey (30 metre) buildings, and as long as three soccer
fields (300 metres).

“I had applied for jobs, but not got to the interview stage
because I didn’t have any experience in the energy
industry,” he said.
“I think that is why this program is good for our mob
to get in, because most of us won’t have experience in thegas industry.
“The program is good because for someone like me trying
to get into the industry, an Aboriginal person, it can be hardto get a foot in the door – you might have the actual job
title experience, but not the industry experience.”
Ashley is one of 49 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
employees at INPEX and one of 17 people who are in the
Solid Pathways Program. He says seeing the familiar faceson site of people he grew up with in Darwin and the shortdrive home are some of the positives for working withINPEX as a local employee.
“It is good because I see people on site I recognisefrom around town, so there is familiarity in that sense,”
Ashley said.
“Normally if you wanted a job like this you had to be
in Queensland or Western Australia. It is also so close totown, so you don’t have to fly in and fly out – I prefer tojust drive home.”

Hollie Smith undertook a career change when she enrolled
in a Production Technician traineeship with INPEX.

“Our crew, we tie them up, we let them go, we connect thearms, we load them, we do all the pressure tests – that’s
our role to make sure that the loading and unloading of theshipping schedule goes safely and smoothly,” Hollie said.
“It’s definitely life changing, it’s the best move that I have
made, from a professional point of view I feel like I make adifference at the grassroots level,” Hollie said.
“I love the camaraderie of the crew and working outside
suits me.
“From a work-life balance, it allows me more time withmy children during my three weeks off and being there
on the weekend, it definitely suits my lifestyle.
“The kids have an outdoorsy lifestyle and I really thinkthat the Territory is rich with opportunity compared toa lot of places.”Celebrating

Bright future for Larrakia ranger

Career expo at Ramingining

Spotting migratory birds returning from Siberia or watchingdolphins frolicking in Darwin Harbour – every day isdifferent for Larrakia Ranger Steven Dawson.

In May, INPEX and our contracting partners supported a
Career Expo, hosted by Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal
Corporation (ALPA) in the community of Ramingining.

Steven started working with the rangers for work
experience through Darwin High School in 2013. Now 28,
the proud Larrakia man is following in the footsteps of his
uncle as a full-time ranger and leads a team of 14 Larrakia
Rangers.

More than 100 people from the community (with apopulation of about 900 people) came to the expo also
featuring CDU team members, a local band, and local
emergency services also participated with stalls and clinic
offering flu shots.

Larrakia Rangers perform regular surveys of shorebirds,
turtles and megafauna, including dolphins and whales
in Larrakia Sea Country as part of a Darwin Harbour
Biodiversity Study funded by the Northern Territory
Government’s Aboriginal Ranger Grants Program which isopen to ranger groups across the Territory.

Following the expo, two members of the community
supported by ALPA, TRACE and INPEX, were successful insecuring a traineeship at the Ichthys LNG onshore facilities.

In 2022, the program, managed by the Department ofEnvironment, Parks and Water Security received A$ 24
million from the INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG under its
Coastal Management Offset Fund.
The rangers do an annual migratory shorebird survey in
October as part of their biodiversity study.
As part of the biodiversity study, Steven can be out on aboat for an hour to collect water samples, or five hours
looking for migratory shorebirds as they forage for food on
the mud flats of Darwin Harbour.

INPEX and contracting teams participated in a Career expo, hosted
by ALPA in May.

Sharing the Harbour safely
INPEX is committed to sharing Darwin Harbour safely
with all recreational and commercial users.
Up to three liquefied natural gas (LNG) export carriers
and one liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier are
received each week at the Ichthys LNG onshore
processing facilities at Bladin Point. In addition, up
to one condensate carrier is received each fortnight.
The Regional Harbourmaster has declared a marine
safety zone restricting access around Bladin Point,
including the product loading jetty, to ensure the safetyof everyone on the water.
