## Resource

Taranaki Energy, part of Pancontinental, is leading the charge in New Zealand’s oil and gas revival with a bold deepwater exploration bid in the Taranaki Basin — the fifth since the exploration ban lifted. With a two-year plan focused on seismic reanalysis and basin modeling, they’re scouting high-potential drilling zones. Resources Minister Shane Jones is thrilled, calling it proof of renewed industry confidence aligned with national energy security goals. Companies have until October 8, 2026, to submit their own bids, as NZPM evaluates applicants under the Crown Minerals Act — all part of a new, open-door strategy to keep New Zealand competitive in the global energy race.
