PHOTO: BHP says further drilling results confirm the Tallaganda find has huge potential.
Mining giant BHP Billiton says its oil and gas deposits in Western Australia's Kimberley are now a key focus for the company, after making a huge discovery in the Carnarvon Basin.
BHP made the Tallaganda gas discovery earlier this year and says further drilling results show the area has huge potential.
The company says the Tallaganda find has been its biggest discovery in 2012.
A company spokesperson says it is a world class deposit with significant potential and it opens up a large area close to existing fields.
BHP has also acquired additional prospective tenements over the past financial year.
BHP says its oil and gas exploration programs will now be focused on its tenements in WA's Carnarvon Basin along with its Gulf of Mexico deposits in the United States.
