flag JERA to buy $1.5B in U.S. shale gas assets to boost supply and support Japan’s energy goals.

flag JERA, Japan’s largest power generator, has agreed to buy U.S. shale gas assets in Louisiana’s Haynesville Basin for $1.5 billion, gaining full control of the South Mansfield field, which produces over 500 million cubic feet of gas daily and holds 200 undeveloped drilling sites. flag The acquisition, pending approval, aims to boost output to 1 billion cubic feet per day and strengthens JERA’s natural gas supply chain, supporting its low-carbon strategy and energy security amid global volatility. flag The move aligns with Japan’s growing investment in U.S. energy infrastructure, driven by rising power demand from AI and data centers.
