Our Priorities
We aim to secure conditions that enable Member companies to operate safely, sustainably and profitably.
We work with central and local government to ensure the country’s regulatory and commercial framework promotes investment and maximises the return to both industry and the community from developing the nation’s oil and gas resources.
We also seek to increase community and government understanding of the industry by publishing information about the sector’s activities and its importance to New Zealand, while also elivering direct value to our Members.
Our work is focused on three key themes: Advocate, Educate and Support. Through these themes, we aim to create for the industry a fair, transparent and workable regulatory environment, the trust and confidence of New Zealanders and tangible value for our Members.
