“New
Zealand,” by Leslie Haines in Oil and Gas Investor (April 2002).
This article explains why Swift Energy and other independent producers are
finding New Zealand an increasingly attractive region for exploration and
production. “No independent has made a bigger splash in New Zealand than
Houston’s Swift Energy Co.,” writes Haines, pointing out that Swift is one
of two companies (the other is Shell Oil Co.) that have made significant oil
and gas discoveries in the country during the last three years. The
independents find a particularly friendly government, which is facing a
shortage of natural gas as the country’s largest gas field, the Maui Field,
approaches depletion within the next few years. (This article is posted in
