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
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.
The modern era 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 region can be
found in previous compliance reports published by the Council
(see Bibliography).
