Shell puts its New Zealand oil and gas assets up for sale
Sydney (Platts)--10 Dec 2015
Shell put its upstream holdings in New Zealand, which account for a significant chunk of the nation's oil and gas production, up for sale.
"These assets are profitable, well maintained and are an important part of New Zealand's energy mix," Shell New Zealand Chairman Rob Jager said in a statement Thursday.
Shell holds 83.75% of the major Maui gas and condensate field in the North Island's Taranaki Basin, which has been producing since 1979.
It also owns 50% of Kapuni, the country's oldest gas and condensate field, and a 48% operating stake in the Pohokura gas field, which now meets around 40% of the nation's needs.
In addition, Shell owns 50% of Shell Todd Oil Services, operator of the Maui and Kapuni fields.
Shell also holds a 50% operating stake in exploration block PEP 50119 in the frontier Great South Basin, off New Zealand's South Island.
