In the past, I have always received a cheque. Does one have to opt in for an automated transfer to a bank account?
Wellington-based New Zealand Oil & Gas has agreed to buy a 6.67% stake in Petroleum Exploration Permit 38451 in the Taranaki basin.
The deal, which includes a 5% carried interest, would see a 6.111% from Global Resource Holdings and a 0.556% from Randall C Thompson go to New Zealand Oil & Gas.
The other two companies would continue to hold a 5% carried interest in the permit.
Under the agreement, New Zealand Oil & Gas said it would pay US$9.5 million in three tranches. No further financial details were given.
US independent Anadarko operates the permit with a 50% interest. Hyundai Hysco owns 33.333%. Both companies have preferential rights, which they have ten days to exercise.
The deal is also conditional on New Zealand ministerial consent, as well as regulatory approvals to drill a well in the Romney prospect of the permit.
PEP 38451 is the first exploration permit granted over the deep-water extension of Taranaki basin.
It covers 16,380 square kilometres and has a drilling deadline of 30 September 2013.
Anadarko has said it plans to use the Noble drillship Bob Douglas, which is currently under construction, for its offshore New Zealand drilling campaign in the 2013-14 drilling season.

Looks like the market likes this one. Up to 87 ATM. I have to admit I know nothing about this deep water drilling. There was some piece a few years ago about west NZ being a treasure trove but i thought that was just a selling point from some pusher.
Adds more interest and a talking point for the AGM.
Just hope it turns out better than the HOCHSTETTER Drill in deep water about 12 years ago.
From memories that had a 1 bill.bbl potential.
Only 9 mil.US$ a bargain if it comes off.
By all means have a go.

BigBob, my first thoughts on this: NZO junior partner in the venture 6.67% - not much. Then I worked out the value of 6.67% if the drill bit finds the 1.1m barrels of oil. WOW! For a $9.5m entry fee the results could be worth more than NZO's existing assets.
Hope the other partners in the venture carry a lot of luck. NZO's luck seems to be in short supply.
