partners, with approximately 18 days scheduled to drill 2,600 meters total

will be moved to PEP 38745 (TAG Oil 16.67%) to drill the Richmond-1 well to a
depth of 2,300 meters and then immediately to PEP 38751 (TAG Oil 33.33%) to

TAG Oil President Drew Cadenhead commented, "We're excited to initiate this drilling phase of our New Zealand strategy. These first three wells are all located within the proven oil-producing fairway in Taranaki, very near under-utilized infrastructure. Considering our potential to create value in New Zealand and our recent approval to list on an internationally recognized stock exchange, our ability to attract capital and create broader awareness during an exciting time for the Company has been enhanced."
