Economic Development

Commerce Act 1986

Statement to the Commerce Commission of
Economic Policy of the Government: Government
Policy Statement of the Importance of the
Pohokura Gas Field for Energy Security
To: The Commerce Commission
Pursuant to section 26 of the Commerce Act 1986, I hereby
transmit to the Commerce Commission a statement of the
economic policy of the Government.
The Government policy statement is set out below.

Government Policy Statement on the Importance of the
Pohokura Gas Field for Energy Security

• The Maui re-determination has put economically
  recoverable reserves at 3,562PJ. This is considerably
  less than earlier industry expectations, and raises
  medium-term security of supply issues.

• Pohokura is the only significant new gas field (over
  500PJ) that can be brought into commercial production
  quickly.

• Gas from Pohokura needs to be available in a timeframe
  and manner that ensures that national energy security
  and economic growth interests are met.

Gas policy
The expected end of the life of the Maui gas field signals the
need for significant changes in gas supply arrangements in
the New Zealand market. Production from an increased
number of smaller gas fields will require more sophisticated
market arrangements, including improved arrangements for
gas balancing and reconciliation than currently exist.

The Government’s policy for the development of
New Zealand’s gas industry, and its expectations for
industry action, is outlined in its Government Policy
Statement – Development of New Zealand’s Gas Industry.
That policy statement outlines the Government’s
expectations for better gas wholesale market arrangements
and industry governance structures. This includes
developing open access arrangements to the Maui pipeline.

This additional policy statement sets out the Government’s
views on the importance of the development of the
Pohokura gas field to help remove uncertainty about
New Zealand’s medium term energy security including
facilitation of early decisions on new electricity generation
investment.
