  6. Puka-1: PEP 51153 Oil strike April 2012 – Awaiting flow testing Targeting Mount Messenger sands – shallow and deemed lower risk than Mauku-1 and Douglas-1 Significant number of similar discoveries in Taranaki, e.g. Copper Moki discovery (NZEC) Cheal field (TAG Oil) both within 5,000m of Puka Combined market cap of NZEC and Tag Oil US$833m Well costs – c. US$2.4mm including testing Puka
