TAG Oil Haemorrhaging
Canadian oil company TAG Oil has lost 30% of its value in the two days since the announcement it had lost East Coast
exploration partner Apache Corporation.
"That seems to be around $70 million dollars a day" said Manu Caddie, a Gisborne District Councillor who has raised
concerns about the risks of drilling in the East Coast region.
"So they are in free-fall and still putting on a brave face that they can carry on in the East Coast Basin without the
$100 million Apache contributed, without the exploration experience and expertise Apache offered and if this
haemorrhaging continues for another couple of days, it will be without any company value whatsoever."
