Report summary
New Zealand's upstream industry is concentrated in the Taranaki basin, where onshore and offshore fields make up all domestic production. The country is an isolated gas market supplied only by domestic fields. Most of the large gas fields - Kapuni, Kupe, Mangahewa, Maui, and Pohokura - are in decline. Recent development drilling across major fields has had limited success in maintaining production levels. With no major new gas field developments planned or underway, gas output will continue to decline.
