The University of Tokyo has established a research program “Environment-harmonized Energy Development Laboratory” sponsored by JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corporation (JX NOEX) to provide educational programs and conduct researches related to the energy resource development since 2013.
The purpose of our laboratory is to optimize operational activities at various stages on energy resources development projects, which ranges from information gathering to development and even production. We aim at establishing novel methodologies to attain improved recovery factor while managing environmental disturbance properly. Our research is especially focusing on the value of information analysis and global optimization and briefly introduced in this paper.
