Monumental Energy及其合作伙伴在新西兰塔拉纳基陆上Mount Messenger组一个此前未测试过的层段进行射孔后，开始从Ngaere-1井进行初步生产。该井的射孔作业在不到两周前完成。

为了腾出更多油轮运力，生产一度暂停。重启作业后，Ngaere-1 修井产油约 3,000 桶，目前日产量稳定在约 120 桶。后续计划开展进一步的增产和优化作业。

这口井最初钻探于30多年前，但其上部产层段此前从未进行过评估。根据Ngaere-1井的勘探结果，该合作方计划在Waihapa H1井和Ngaere-2井对同一地层进行类似的射孔作业。

Monumental Energy and its partners began initial production from the Ngaere-1 well following perforation of a previously untested interval in the Mount Messenger Formation in onshore Taranaki, New Zealand. The well was perforated less than two weeks prior.

Production was temporarily shut in to allow additional tanker capacity. After restarting operations, the Ngaere-1 workover well produced about 3,000 bbl of oil and is stabilizing at approximately 120 bbl/day. Additional stimulation and optimization activities are planned at a later stage.

The well was originally drilled more than 30 years ago, but the upper producing interval had not previously been evaluated. Following the Ngaere-1 results, the partnership plans similar perforation work at the Waihapa H1 and Ngaere-2 wells targeting the same formation.
