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 exploration began in New Zealand in 1955 when a Shell-BP-Todd
consortium explored a large

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
average air temperature for the region (excluding Te Maunga sites) was 12.7°C, which is 0.4°C warmer than long-term May averages. The maximum air temperature recorded in May was 21.7°C at Waitōtara at Hawken Rd on 14 May. May average wind speeds were 12.6km/hr, with average gust strength of 41.7km/hr, these were 0.2km/hr lighter, and 0.7km/hr gustier than the long-term average.
