Minority shareholders in Cue Energy have approved the sale of a 15 per cent interest in WA-359-P, and the grant of an option to acquire 5.36 per cent of WA-409-P, to New Zealand Oil & Gas via a subsidiary.
WA-359-P off northwest Australia contains the giant Ironbark prospect, where a well is planned for 2020.
WA-409-P is a neighbouring block. Approval from Cue minority shareholders was required because New Zealand Oil & Gas owns 50.04% of Cue.
