Petroleum geology of New Zealand’s Northwest Frontier: The Northland sector of the greater Taranaki Basin
- Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
- Authors: C.I. Uruski
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 2004
Abstract:
In recent years, data have been gathered and knowledge accumulated about the geology of the Taranaki Basin frontier. Historically, Taranaki Basin has been considered to consist of the Taranaki Peninsula and the adjacent continental shelf, out to the ...
Leaf biomass – a new paradigm for sourcing the terrestrial oils of Taranaki Basin
- Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
- Authors: R. Sykes, L.R. Snowdon and P.E. Johansen
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 2004
Abstract:
Late Cretaceous-Eocene coal measures have sourced waxy, paraffinic crude oils in the otherwise gas-rich Taranaki Basin, but incomplete understanding of organofacies controls on the generation and expulsion of non-volatile oil has hindered prediction ...
Late Cretaceous-Eocene basin evolution in the SW Pacific from integrated geology; marine geophysics, and global mantle convection models
- Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
- Authors: R. Sutherland, P. King and R. Herzer
- Reference Type: Book Section
- Date Published: December 2004
Abstract:
There are two significant events during the evolution of the South Pacific since 100 Ma that allow its history to be subdivided. The first event was the Late Cretaceous final fragmentation of Gondwana. Seafloor magnetic anomalies show that oceanic se...
Migration of Oil and Gas into the Maui Field, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
- Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
- Authors: R.H. Funnell, V.M. Stagpoole, A. Nicol, S.D. Killops, A.G. Reyes and D. Darby
- Reference Type: Magazine Article
- Date Published: November 2001
Abstract:
The oil and gas/condensate Maui Field in the Taranaki Basin lies 30 km off the west coast of the North Island, New Zealand. The field consists of two broad anticlinal closures formed by Miocene compression, and structurally enhanced by Plio-Pleistoce...
Miocene Turbidite Reservoir Systems in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand: Established Plays and Analogues for Deep-Water Exploration
- Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
- Authors: P.R. King and G.H. Browne
- Reference Type: Magazine Article
- Date Published: November 2001
Abstract:
Two turbidite formations, Moki and Mount Messenger, represent discrete progradational sandy pulses in an otherwise mud-dominated regressive Miocene succession in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. The fairways for these formations overlap, with best de...
Geophysical Definition of the Kapuni Coastal Facies of the Western Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
- Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
- Authors: E. Matthews and C. Lewis
- Reference Type: Magazine Article
- Date Published: November 2001
Abstract:
Coastal sand bodies within the Eocene-Paleocene Kapuni Group are a prime target for exploration in the Taranaki Basin. While regional amplitude mapping can be used to map the major facies belts, more detailed local mapping is needed to identify indiv...
Cook Strait, New Zealand – A New Frontier Basin
- Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
- Authors: G.R. Holdgate and R. Shaw
- Reference Type: Magazine Article
- Date Published: November 2001
Abstract:
Cook Strait lies between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. Understanding the basin geology beneath Cook Strait has been hampered by a lack of modern seismic, as all existing petroleum seismic was shot before 1974. In 1998 NIWA obtained over...
Re-Evaluating Thermal History Models for the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand Using Apatite Fission Track and (U-Th)/He Data From Well Sections
- Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
- Authors: P.V. Crowhurst, P.F. Green and P.J.J. Kamp
- Reference Type: Magazine Article
- Date Published: November 2001
Abstract:
Reliable reconstruction of thermal histories in sedimentary basins is a key aspect of reducing exploration risk, e.g. In defining the timing of hydrocarbon generation in source kitchens and identifying tectonic episodes which may have caused disrupti...
Interpretation of Burial and Diagenetic History of Northland Allochthon Rocks, Northland Basin, New Zealand
- Publication Name: Eastern Australian Basins Symposium 2001
- Authors: N. Aadil, P. Black and P.F. Ballance
- Reference Type: Magazine Article
- Date Published: November 2001
Abstract:
Northland Allochthon is a structurally displaced rock unit comprising an originally fining-upwards passive margin wedge which accumulated adjacent to northeastern New Zealand between the Middle Cretaceous and Late Oligocene. The wedge was obducted on...
