We’ve shared the reasons why TAG Oil became interested in the Pukatea prospect, but what caused our Joint Venture partners (30%) Melbana to seek a project in the Taranaki Basin?
A few of their comments include:
- The fact that it is in a proven basin and a large prospect
- It’s in the same reservoir as the Waihapa field, just 4km away, a highly productive oil field that has produced in excess of 23 MMBbls of oil to date with initial well rates of ~5,000 bpd
- Economic to produce and immediately marketable
