The Papa New Guinea Defence Force has offered ground search personnel to help in the rescue effort, however Mr Taylor said the search area had not been narrowed down yet.
"At a time when they have located or believe they are close to locating the wreckage then ground search personnel will be involved.''
The Bell 206 Helicopter, operated by aviation charter service Hevilift, was reported missing somewhere near the town of Wabag in the mountainous Enga Province.
About five minutes after the helicopter left the InterOil Drill Rig, a mayday call was broadcast. It is believed the three men were heading to Hou Creek to re-fuel and then were to return to their main base at Mt Hagen.
There was low cloud and reduced visibility at the time of the crash and the pilots were flying on sight rather than instruments.
Hevilift Group Managing Director Colin Seymour would not comment on company protocol for flying in dangerous conditions.
He said the cause of the crash was unknown but Hevilift was in contact with and supporting the men's families.
A second full day of searching has ended unsuccessfully, and will resume at first light tomorrow
