The Kora-1 exploratory well was drilled to test the Eocene Tangaroa Sandstone Member within a large dome structure associated with a Miocene age volcano. Kora-1 was drilled to a TD of 3421m and encountered significant indications of hydrocarbons in the top of the Miocene volcanics section and in the upper and lower Tangaroa Sandstone. Results of the 3 drill stem tests evaluating the Tangaroa shows indicated that the Tangaroa Sandstone Member was a tight formation. However, the Miocene volcanic section tested 1168 BOPD and the well was subsequently plugged back and sidetracked as Kora-1A. A long term production test was conducted and an average flow rate of 668 BOPD was sustained. The well was plugged and abandoned.
