Executive summary
TWN Limited Partnership operates a petrochemical production station located on Bird
zones, or expected zones of influence, and primary direction of plume
propagation).
What are the marine drilling activities?
The drilling activities in question relate to exploration and development of oil and gas resources
within the Taranaki Regional Council’s coastal management area (i.e. within the territorial seas—
12 mile zone). Exploration, development and production can result in discharges of wastes,
including: drill cuttings, production / formation water from wells and other
New
Zealand. Oil and gas exploration and development has been on-going in the region for
nearly 150 years. Since the first well in 1865, over 600 exploration and production wells
have been drilled. While the majority of the basin is offshore, the majority of the
producing wells are onshore. The geology of the basin is derived from diverse episodes
of tectonic activity. The Cretaceous to Quaternary basin fill is up to 9,000 m thick in
places.

Process description 1.2
Background 1.2.1
The Taranaki Basin occupies an area of approximately 100,000 square kilometres and
is the most explored and commercially successful hydrocarbon producing area in
New Zealand. Oil and gas exploration and development has been on-going in the
region for nearly 150 years. Since the first well in 1865, over 600 exploration and
production wells have been drilled. While the majority of the basin is offshore, the
majority of
the disposal of the various forms of wastewater
they authorise.
A schematic representation of injection wells for both waste
discharge and enhanced oil recovery is presented in Figure 1.
Further details regarding hydrocarbon exploration and production
in Taranaki, the DWI process and its history within the region can
be found in previous compliance reports published by the Council
(see Bibliography).
