New Zealand Energy Corp. is developing and producing oil and natural gas in New Zealand from a large conventional and unconventional resource base. The company made its first oil discovery in 2011, which tested over 1,100 barrels per day of oil. It plans to advance this well to commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2011. New Zealand Energy has a low-cost exploration model across five permits totaling over 2 million acres. It is led by a management team with extensive oil and gas industry experience.
