NATURAL GAS IN NEW ZEALAND

G. J. van der Lingen*

ALTHOUGH THE FIRST (small) commercial hydrocarbon discovery in New Zealand was made in 1866, it was not until 1959 that modern exploration resulted in the onshore discovery of the gas-condensate Kapuni field in the Taranaki Basin, followed in 1969 by the discovery of the giant offshore Maui gas-condensate field. The last two decades have seen the development of these two fields, augmented by several smaller gas- and oilfields. An extensive gas pipeline system has been put into place in the North Island. The South Island gas needs are served by tankers and bottles.
