Tag Oil Cases Mangamingi-1

Tag Oil Ltd.

Independent Canadian oil and gas company Tag Oil Ltd. said that the Mangamingi-1 exploration well drilled directionally in PEP 38758 (Tag 100%) in onshore Taranaki, New Zealand, has reached a total measured depth of 1,871m (6,138'), representing a true vertical depth of 1,550m (5,085'). After evaluation of drilling data, the decision was made to case the well in preparation for further testing.

Tag Oil President Drew Cadenhead commented: "Mangamingi-1 has confirmed our theory that oil has migrated through the underlying wedge of thrusted basement sediments and has accumulated in the overlying shallow Miocene sediments in this under-explored eastern region of the Taranaki Basin."

The company will initiate a completion and testing program dependant on equipment availability over the next two weeks.
