Case Study: INPEX Corporation Improves Operations Management with Hexagon’s j5 Operations Management Solutions

Improved Operations Management at Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Upstream Oil and Gas Company

INPEX Corporation, Japan's largest oil and gas exploration and production company, faced operational challenges with its paper-based shift handover system. This system led to inconsistent work descriptions, made information sharing across sites difficult, and hindered operational consistency. To address this, INPEX partnered with vendor Hexagon to implement its j5 Operations Management Solutions for a digital transformation of these critical processes.

Hexagon's solution included the j5 Operations Logbook and j5 Shift Handover modules, which standardized data entry and automated reporting. This ensured consistent and efficient operations across all shifts and sites. The implementation improved the overview and execution of work activities, enhanced coordination between workers, and provided quicker feedback on progress, significantly boosting operational management efficiency and contributing to the stable operation of INPEX assets.
