March 2013 Update This March 2013 update includes a new Appendix D, which specifically considers potential gas demand on the Maui pipeline north of the Mokau compressor. All the rest of this March 2013 updated report is identical to the original 2012 report. The associated spreadsheet tool and database have also been re- released with the new analysis relating to the Maui pipeline1. Gas supply New Zealand’s current gas supply position is stronger than it has been for many years driven by the highest level of exploration effort seen for a long time, which in turn has been underpinned by high oil prices. Although exploration effort is predominantly focussed on oil, the fact that gas and oil are typically found together means that high oil exploration effort translates into increased likelihood of new gas reserves being found. NZ has transitioned from the Maui-era which had a high dependence on a single declining offshore field. It now draws supply from an increasingly diverse range of onshore and offshore fields New Zealand’s future gas outlook has also strengthened markedly. There are now sufficient reserves to last through to the mid-2020s based on current rates of use, and since the early-to-mid 2000’s gas finds have been occurring at an annual rate which is generally equal to or greater than annual consumption levels. The petrochemical and power generation sectors play a valuable ‘shock-absorber’ role in varying their consumption to match the prevailing supply position. This is of value to both upstream producers and downstream gas consumers: Upstream producers have increased confidence that if they find gas they will have a market to buy it, thereby making New Zealand a more attractive place to search for hydrocarbons; Downstream gas consumers benefit both from increased likelihood that hydrocarbon exploration effort will focus on New Zealand, and from the fact that if reserves should fall then the petrochemical and power generation sectors will scale back their consumption to enable gas to go to higher value industrial, commercial and residential energy uses.

The Rena accident highlighted the devastation that can be caused by what in global terms is actually still a relatively small oil spill at 350 tonnes and shows the difficulties of mounting a clean-up operation even when the source of the leaking oil is so close to shore. It raised the spectre of the environmental catastrophe that could occur if an accident on the scale of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico were to occur in New Zealand’s remote waters.

  • Planktonic Foraminifera As Oceanographic Proxies: Comparison of Biogeographic Classifications Using Some Southwest Pacific Core-Top Faunas
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation ISRN Oceanography Volume 2013, Article ID 508184, 15 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.5402/2013/508184 Review Article Planktonic Foraminifera as Oceanographic Proxies: Comparison of Biogeographic Classifications Using Some Southwest Pacific Core-Top Faunas G. H. Scott GNS Science, 1 Fairway Drive, Lower Hutt 5010, New Zealand Correspondence should be addressed to G. H. Scott; [email protected] Received 29 April 2013; Accepted 17 June 2013 Academic Editors: M. Elskens and M. T. Maldonado Copyright © 2013 G. H. Scott. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The distribution of planktonic foraminifera, as free-floating protists, is largely controlled by hydrography. Their death assemblages in surficial sediments provide proxy data on upper water mass properties for paleoceanography. Techniques for mapping faunal distributions for this purpose are compared in a study of 35 core-top samples that span the Subtropical Front in the Southwest Pacific. Faunas are analyzed by taxon composition, order of dominant taxa, and abundance. Taxon composition (presence-absence data) and dominant taxa (ordinal data) recognize groups of sites that approximate major water mass distributions (cool subtropical water, subantarctic water) and clearly define the location of the Subtropical Front. Quantitative data (relative abundances) more closely reflect the success of taxa in upper water mass niches. This information resolves groups of sites that reflect differences in intrawater mass hydrography. Comparisons suggest that abundance data should provide much better oceanographic resolution globally than the widely used ordinal biogeographic classification that identifies only Tropical, Subtropical Transitional, Subpolar and Polar provinces.

Campbell Plateau: A major control on the SW Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean circulation. Aitana Forcén-Vázquez1,2, Michael J. M. Williams1, Melissa Bowen3, Lionel Carter2, and Helen Bostock1 1NIWA 2Victoria University of Wellington 3The University of Auckland Correspondence to: Aitana ([email protected]) Abstract. New Zealand’s subantarctic region is a dynamic oceanographic zone with the Subtropical Front (STF) to the north and the Subantarctic Front (SAF) to the south. Both the fronts and their associated currents are strongly influenced by topog- raphy: the South Island of New Zealand and the Chatham Rise for the STF, and Macquarie Ridge and Campbell Plateau for the SAF. Here for the first time we present a consistent picture across the subantarctic region of the relationships between front 5 positions, bathymetry and water mass structure using eight high resolution oceanographic sections that span the region. Our results show that the northwest side of Campbell Plateau is comparatively warm due to a southward extension of the STF over the plateau. The SAF is steered south and east by Macquarie Ridge and Campbell Plateau, with waters originating in the SAF also found north of the plateau in the Bounty Trough. Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) formation is confirmed to exist south of the plateau on the northern side of the SAF in winter, while on Campbell Plateau a deep reservoir persists into the following 10 autumn.

  • Determination of Critical Contingency Price in Respect of the Critical Contingency of 3Rd March 2012
    Determination of Critical Contingency Price in respect of the critical contingency of 3rd March 2012 Tim Denne ([email protected]) 20th April 2012 Introduction 1. This report sets out my determination of a Critical Contingency Price as required by the Gas Governance (Critical Contingency Management) Regulations 2008 (‘the Regulations’). The Critical Contingency Price is required in respect of the critical contingency of 3rd March 2012. 2. A critical contingency is defined under the Regulations. It is triggered when the operating pressure reaches a low threshold that defines the pressure required to “maintain the supply of gas across the relevant part or parts of the transmission system and to avoid disruption of distribution systems connected to the transmission system” (Regulation 25(1)(a)(iv)). 3. A draft report and recommended price was discussed at a workshop with interested parties on 16th April 2012. There were no objections to the proposed price. 4. My determination is that the critical contingency price for 3rd March 2012 is $11.10/GJ. The explanation is given below. The Event 5. A critical contingency was declared on the Maui pipeline on 3rd March 2012 following an unplanned outage of the Pohokura Production Station. The plant shutdown initially occurred as a result of a power outage at 3.40am, but production could not restart because of a fault in the plant heating system. The outage resulted in reduced supply and a low pressure being recorded at Rotowaro that fell below the threshold that triggered a critical contingency. The sequence of events is shown in Figure 1.

  • Fonterra Submission on CCM Consultation 24 July 2020
    Statement of proposal for amending the Critical Contingency Management Regulations Summary Fonterra welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the Statement of Proposal for amending the Critical Contingency Management Regulations paper. Fonterra is a co-operative owned by around 10,000 New Zealand farmers, and as such we take a long-term view of both our industry and our country. We are New Zealand’s largest co-operative with 30 manufacturing sites spread across New Zealand with more than 10,000 staff working for the Co-operative in regional New Zealand. Natural gas is a critical energy source for 18 of our North Island manufacturing sites. Processing our farmers' milk within 12-hours of collection is vital to avoid the significant environmental damage from disposing milk on farm. The significant environmental and economic damage that results from an outage remains long after the gas has been restored. As our 18 sites are located from Whangārei in the north down to Pahiatua in the south, we are the only major gas user that is exposed to the greatest risk of a gas outage with each kilometre of pipeline to get to our sites. We have installed diesel fuel back-up at four of our sites to assist with mitigating some of the gas outage risk from various regional scenarios. This investment has been made based upon a range of factors, including how much could be utilised without jeopardising New Zealand’s diesel stocks. Fonterra considers that greater prioritisation of gas supply needs to be given to the dairy industry , especially during the peak milk months (September to December), to minimise both environmental and economic damage that would occur from a sustained gas outage.

  • 38. Seismic Stratigraphy and Structure Adjacent to an Evolving Plate Boundary, Western Chatham Rise, New Zealand1
    38. SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY AND STRUCTURE ADJACENT TO AN EVOLVING PLATE BOUNDARY, WESTERN CHATHAM RISE, NEW ZEALAND1 K. B. Lewis, New Zealand Oceanographic Institute D. J. Bennett, Geophysics Division of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, New Zealand R. H. Herzer, New Zealand Geological Survey and C. C. von der Borch, Flinders University2 ABSTRACT Seismic profiles obtained from the eastern side of New Zealand, in transit to and from Site 594, illustrate the evolu- tion of the western end of the Chatham Rise and the southern extremity of the Hikurangi Trough. They show several unconformities and several major changes in tectonic and depositional regime. The unconformities represent major changes in oceanic circulation, possibly triggered by large lowerings of sea level in the late Oligocene and late Miocene. Tectonism is exemplified by a Late Cretaceous phase of block faulting, heralding the rift from Gondwanaland, and by Plio-Pleistocene normal faulting on the northern flank of the rise antithetic to the oblique-collision plate boundary in the southern Hikurangi Trough. This active normal faulting may indicate that the northwestern corner of Chatham Rise continental crust is being dragged down with the subducting slab to the north. The depositional regime has changed from Late Cretaceous infilling of fault-angle depressions, through an early Tertiary transgression and mid-Tertiary car- bonate drape, to a late Miocene-Recent sequence recording repeated glacial-interglacial events. This upper stratified unit onlaps a late Miocene erosion/phosphatization unconformity toward the crest of the rise. It is locally truncated by a slope-parallel erosion surface, with downslope buildup, which may indicate either current scour and deposition or mass movement.
