The Kahili field was discovered in 2002 and the previous permit holder achieved commercial gas and condensate flows. In anticipation of that production, an on-site processing facility and pipeline connecting to the gas network were constructed by Natural Gas Corporation (now Vector Ltd). The Kahili-1B well produced 0.18 BCF of gas and 5.53 mbbls of condensate prior to watering out unexpectedly in 2004.
Both the production facility and the pipeline remain under a care and maintenance program by Vector Ltd pending further work within the permit. With these facilities available any future discoveries can be rapidly commercialised.
