Japanese oil explorer Inpex Corp has pulled out from Iran’s Azadegan oil field project as expected, Reuters has reported. The move was made after U.S. sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme posed a potential threat to the company’s business. Inpex has invested $153m in the project, but the company said the agreement with state-run National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) would have only a limited impact on its earnings.
