History in Brief

Hunt Energy & Mineral Co Australia Pty Ltd was founded in 1996 to drill a program of wells for Nelson Bunker Hunt from Texas in the USA. The company imported a Drilling Rig (Rig #2) into Australia specifically for this purpose. Hunt Energy drilled wells in South Australia 400 klms west of Moomba and in Queensland in the Winton area.

In 1999 ownership of the Company changed and with it brought a new sense of planning and direction. The Company tendered for and won contracts to drill in the Fairview area in Queensland. A second Drilling Rig, (Rig #3) was purchased and went to work to complete an extensive drilling project in tandem with Rig #2 at Fairview in Queensland.

Hunt has also drilled Wells in the Eromanga Basin in Queensland, the Cooper Basin and Stansbury Basin in South Australia, the Gippsland Basin in Victoria and NSW.

Hunt Energy's commitment to the Oil & Gas Industry has seen the company grow over the past 10 years  into a competitive and efficient drilling Contractor.
