Kikori


Kikori is a settlement in Papua New Guinea.
Kikori lies in the delta of the Kikori River at the head of the Gulf of Papua. This area is particularly biologically rich with a diversity of ecosystems and densely forested, with an intricate system of rivers. The geography is that of limestone karst country, with clay type soils. Oil exploitation in Kikori has been operating for several years. Its first commercial oil deposits were found there by the Kutubu Joint Venture which has since constructed a pipeline to the Gulf of Papua and is actively extracting oil from the region.
It has an average annual rainfall of about 584 centimetres. It is the site of Kikori Airport. Kikori experiences dry season from November to March, wet season from June to September and receives an annual rainfall of 5,840 mm
