Tokyo Gas, Japan's largest utility, has expanded its position in the US shale sector by acquiring oil and gas assets in the East Texas/Louisiana region from Royal Dutch Shell subsidiary Castleton Resources. Tokyo Gas has also increased its share of Castleton Resources from 30% to around 46% through a capital injection.
