RE:  OIA 2017-18-8 NZTE Partnership with NZOG in Barque prospect EIA

 

Thanks for your email of 3 November regarding an Official Information Act
1982 (the Act) request, seeking:

 

Recently, New Zealand Oil & Gas released a June 2017 report by consultancy
firm Martin Jenkins Associates entitled 'Barque Field Development Economic
Impact Assessment'. The Introduction to the report (p. 11) begins with the
following statement:

 

"The Barque field is a promising oil and gas prospect in the Canterbury
Basin off the coast of Oamaru. MartinJenkins has been engaged by New
Zealand Oil & Gas (NZOG), in partnership with New Zealand Trade and
Enterprise and Beca, to undertake an economic impact analysis for the
development of the Barque field under two possible scenarios."

 

I would like to know/receive the following information:

 

·         A copy of any instrument setting out the partnership
arrangements for the EIA project (e.g.  a contract, letter of agreement,
memorandum of understanding or other instrument).

·         What were the governance arrangements regarding the execution of
the EIA study and report?

·         What was the approximate total value of assistance, support,
meeting attendance, travel and advice provided by NZTE to NZOG and Beca in
regard to the EIA report?

·         How does this partnership arrangement accord with the purposes
of NZTE and the services it provides?

·         I would like to request copies of all correspondence, emails,
and meeting notes associated with NZTE's partnership with NZOG and Beca in
regard to the initiating, planning, execution, reporting and follow up of
the Martin Jenkins EIA. 

 

We will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable and
within 20 working days of 3 November 2017 in accordance with the Act.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Kathryn Watson
