Engaging with the International Community

Conducting Technical Exchanges with Other Countries

Cosmo Oil strives to develop and maintain friendly relations with other countries, especially oil-producing nations, by conducting personnel exchanges and offering technical cooperation in downstream oil operations. The company provides technical support to these countries utilizing the subsidy system of the Japan Cooperation Center for Petroleum and Sustainable Energy (JCCP), and these efforts have been well received by partner nations.

In fiscal 2023, company representatives visited oil company offices in Thailand, the Vietnam, and the UAE, providing technical cooperation, training, and personnel exchanges related to oil refining operations. In addition to conventional oil operations, Cosmo Oil is exploring ways to collaborate on shared global issues by exchanging information and discussing decarbonization measures and technologies to address climate change.

Moreover, representatives of Philippine oil companies have been invited to Japan for technical exchanges on refinery operation optimization and energy use optimization. The company actively participates in training seminars and workshops sponsored by the JCCP, and continues to engage in a wide range of activities with other countries.
