Higher oil and gas prices have lifted profits at New Zealand Oil & Gas (NZSE: NOG)

The company has announced a net profit of $2.1 million for the year to the end of June, a big turnaround from last year's loss of $10.75 million.

Last year's result included the cost of drilling the Hochstetter prospect.

Sales revenues of $24.6m were up 43% on the previous year, which the company says reflects higher oil prices and increased gas sales.

NZOG says operations overall produced a surplus of $1.2 million after writedowns of $2.2 million, mainly related to Western Australia, and $2 million on investments.

However adjustments for minority interests and taxation in the company subsidiary, Pan Pacific Petroleum, boosted the final result to a profit of $2.1million.

There is no final dividend.
