Abstract:
The deep-water Taranaki Basin, located off the northwest coast of New Zealand, is an underexplored, frontier area with one recent exploration well and limited 2D seismic coverage. The basin developed through multiple tectonic cycles, including Mesozoic rifting, followed by Late Cretaceous and Paleogene subsidence associated with seafloor spreading in the Tasman Sea.
