Communications with PEPANZ about their March 2017 policy briefing

Dr Terrence Loomis made this Official Information request to Minister of Energy and Resources

The request was partially successful.

From: Dr Terrence Loomis

Dear Minister of Energy and Resources,

On 8 March 2017 the Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand (PEPANZ) released a policy briefing entitled "Advancing New Zealand's Petroleum Sector". Among eighteen recommendations, the document called on the next Government to review fiscal policy settings, invest in further geological studies of New Zealand’s petroleum basins and establish a dedicated royalties fund to allow future generations to benefit from New Zealand’s mineral wealth.

Under the provisions of the Official Information Act, I would like to request the following information:

1) Emails, written communications or notes of meetings you have had with PEPANZ representatives and/or PEPANZ member companies about their policy briefing since it was released.

2) Policy papers or Cabinet papers produced addressing specific recommendations or consultations with PEPANZ or industry representatives regarding the briefing paper.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am a New Zealand citizen and resident in New Zealand.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Terrence Loomis

2.       Policy papers or Cabinet papers produced addressing specific
recommendations or consultations with PEPANZ or industry representatives

So that the Minister can respond to your request, can you please advise:

·         the briefing paper you are specifically referring to (perhaps
you could confirm it is this one: [1]http://www.pepanz.com/dmsdocument/14)

·         whether the second part of your request:

In order for the Minister to be able to respond to your request in a
