Manganui-1 (PPL38034) was the first well drilled on the Manganui Structure. Rimu-1, which was 1250m east of Manganui-1 and which failed to reach the Kapuni Group sandstones, was drilled on the Rimutauteka Structure. The Rimutauteka Structure and the Manganui Structure are separated by a NE-SW trending fault, with the Manganui Structure being on the upthrown side of the fault. As expected, the sequence penetrated by Manganui-1 was very similar to that of Rimu-1, consisting predominantly of Miocene mudstone and siltstone with some sandstone and limestone. The sandstones of the McKee Formation, encountered 200m deeper than anticipated, produced significant gas, some condensate and large quantities of water.
