"Uncontrolled"
ACCORDING to advice received by En terprise of New Guinea Gold and Petroleum Development N.L., an area of 1,850 square miles in the Sepik District, North West New Guinea, is be ing removed from the restricted areas de scribed as “uncontrolled”. This is taken to mean that the area will soon be avail able for oil search.
Enterprise of New Guinea has been try ing for two or three years to get the right to search for oil in certain areas in North-western New Guinea; but it has intimated that it is not interested in the particular area referred to above.
