TOTANGI BORE
DEVIATION NOT SERIOUS
(By Telegraph-
Press Association.)
} GISBORNE, This Day. The New Zealand Petroleum Company advises that drilling at the Totangi No. 1 bore is again in progress, and the drill has reached 2100 feet. The deviation from the vertical is not pronounced, being 2£ degrees only, a figure which is considered quite satisfactory. Furthermore, no increase in the deviation has been observed throughout the last, eighty feet of drilling. Directional drilling equipment which is being imported from America is due at Auckland today, and will be employed as necessary to prevent further deviation at this or other wells to be drilled.
