An off-target well is a non-horizontal well drilled outside of the prescribed target area, as described in a Pool Order, spacing area, or The Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations, 2012. An oil and gas company applying for either a well licence or for a new completion on an existing well, must disclose if the well will be off-target based on its completion as outlined in:
Off-target well completion information can be provided to the Ministry of Energy and Resources through:
Rules and policies for off-target wells are set out in Directive PNG007: Off-Target Well Completion Requirements. Well licence, recomplete/reclassify and commingle production applications are processed by the ministry through:

Once the applicant has completed these steps, they're ready go to the Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) to apply:
