The 4th Annual Japan Update Houston Conference was held on Friday, January 25, at the Petroleum Club of Houston.
The 2019 edition of the event brought together experts from Japan and the Houston community to examine U.S.-Japan energy relations and the impact on Houston and the Lone Star State.
With the Japan-United States Strategic Energy Partnership having recently been formed, the United States and Japan have emphasized their commitment to strengthening energy security and promoting energy access. The partnership has become ever more meaningful as U.S. and Japan companies jointly prepare for openings of LNG hubs in our area and explore new resources. Moreover, Japan stands poised to achieve greater diversification of energy resources and increased flexibility of energy supply owing to activity in our region.
Energy is certainly fueling the future of the U.S.-Japan relationship in Texas!
