Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington
Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington September 2017 ISBN 978-0-9941409-4-4 (PDF) Making a Community: Filipinos in Wellington About the Author As an American living in New Zealand, I’ve been observing the debate here on immigration and multiculturalism. I arrived in Wellington last year with my Kiwi husband and three-year old son – and while settling in we’ve spent a lot of time discovering the delights of the city and its people. The experience also gave me some perspective on being a migrant far from home. I have a professional interest in South East Asian history, languages and culture - I just completed a PhD on the subject. I speak some Filipino, and am fascinated by the Philippines’ complex history. One of the major phenomena in the Philippines since the 1970s has been the growth of the global Filipino diaspora. That story has often been full of sadness. So I was intrigued by anecdotes of positivity and success from Wellington. Writing about how the migrant Filipino community has settled in New Zealand has been more than just a research project. It has highlighted how migration plays a role in community building. It also has meaning for me and my family’s future here. I really wanted to share some of the stories that I think reflect successful outcomes from immigration over the past thirty years. By Dr Rebecca Townsend 1 Key Points 1. 2. 3. Filipinos comprise 1 percent of Filipinos are a vital part of Most Filipinos in New Zealand are New Zealand’s population – the New Zealand’s dairy, healthcare, not Overseas Filipino Workers third largest Asian ethnic group construction, nursing, aged care, (OFW). -

Acidising Case Study – Kawerau Injection Wells

Box 30-125, St Martins, Christchurch, New Zealand e-mail: 1 [email protected]; ABSTRACT Brine at the Kawerau Geothermal Limited (KGL) plant was injected into three injection wells (KA43, KA44 and PK4A). Since plant commissioning, the capacity of the wells declined to the point where well intervention was necessary to avoid loss of generation. Investigative work was initiated with multi-rate injection tests which found that the injection index of the wells had declined significantly to approximately half of pre-utilisation levels. Further geochemistry analysis identified that the most likely source of injectivity decline was scaling due to colloidal silica forming in the formation. KA44 and PK4A were acidised using a standard 10% hydrochloric acid pre-flush followed by a 10%:5% HF:HCL mud acid solution. A 2” coil tubing unit with a 5 hole 45º nozzle bottom hole assembly was used giving a maximum pump rate of 3.5 - 4.0 barrels per minute. Feedzones were acidised one at a time starting with the deeper zones. Post well injection tests identified that the acidising Figure 1: Location of the Kawerau Geothermal Field had recovered the injectivity of the deeper feedzones but the shallower feedzones remain blocked with Silica precipitation at Kawerau has been a concern scale. -
