Abstract:
Origin and OMV are currently exploring petroleum exploration permits (PEPs) 38618 and 38619, which are located offshore at the northern Taranaki Basin/southern Northland Basin, New Zealand. This paper provides an update on recent exploration activities undertaken in these permits and focuses on the results of newly acquired 2D and 3D seismic data that indicates, contrary to historical perception, that this area is highly prospective for gas and possibly oil.
