` First began in search for hydrocarbon was publicity in 1968and first exploration license in 1970 to the Shell company
` The first 2 wells were drilled in Tonga for hydrocarbonclose to oil seeps in a basin defined on the basis of gravity
and magnetic data but without onshore seismic control.Both were plugged as dry holes at the depth of 1676m. Notget to basement
` After 120m depth of Plio-Pleistocene reef limestone penetrated a thick sequence of fine to coarse volcaniclastic
interbedded with thin limestone
