New Zealand: Copper Moki light oil find producing

HOUSTON, Dec. 13
By OGJ editors

New Zealand Energy Corp., Vancouver, BC, reported a flowing production rate of 580 b/d of 41.8° gravity oil and 970 scf/bbl of associated gas at Copper Moki-1, its first well in New Zealand’s Taranaki basin.

Surface facilities will handle as much as 1,000 b/d of oil. The company will install permanent facilities by mid-2012 that can be expanded to handle output from more wells. Produced oil is being trucked to the Shell-operated Omata tank farm 45 km north. NZEC is evaluating options to market its gas.

NZEC plans to spud the Copper Moki-2 delineation well by the end of 2011 from the same pad as Copper Moki-1 to target the Urenui and Mount Messenger formations. It will spud Copper Moki-3 on completion of Copper Moki-2 and will target the Mount Messenger, Urenui, and Moki formations.

The Future of US Refining

When Fri, Feb 6, 2015

Oil & Gas Journal’s Feb. 6, 2015, webcast will focus on the future of US refining as various forces this year conspire to pull the industry in different directions. Lower oil prices generally reduce feedstock costs, but they have also lowered refiners’ returns, as 2015 begins with refined products priced at lows not seen in years. If lower per-barrel crude prices dampen production of lighter crudes among shale plays, what will happen to refiners’ plans to export more barrels of lighter crudes? And as always, refiners will be affected by government regulations, particularly those that suppress demand, increase costs, or limit access to markets or supply.
