Proposed Drilling in Tui Field

Tamarind is intending to commence a drilling project in the Tui Oil Field in early 2019. It will involve drilling 2 to 4 sidetrack wells from the existing wells. We are currently developing an Impact Assessment for the drilling project and intend to lodge an application for marine consent to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in early March 2018. The consent application will be fully notified, and a full copy of the application will be available from the EPA website and from this website. We will post updates on the project when they are available.
