Advocate Educate Support

The Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (PEPANZ) is the industry association of the upstream oil and gas sector, representing the companies that explore for, and produce, New Zealand’s oil and gas resources.

What does PEPANZ do?

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.

Our work is focussed 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.
