Oil Drilling Ceased In Papua But Three More Bores Being Prepared

DRILLING at the APC Go’s Kariava bore, in Central Papua, ceased on March 25, after the bore had reached 12,621 feet (nearly 2£ miles). Data is now being studied, for guidance in regard to future policy.

Drilling at Kariava commenced ten years ago, but was suspended for five years, during World War 11.

The Company is now preparing to put down three more bores in Papua—at Hohoro, Upoia and Oroi.
