Shell has flowed first gas from the Pohokura project off New Zealand, with production from the field expected to peak at about 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
“This is a significant step in the journey to deliver gas to meet New Zealand’s energy needs,” Shell said.
Commissioning of the production station will continue over the coming weeks in preparation for commercial gas sales, while offshore the platform installation is under way, with the six offshore wells expected to come on stream over the coming year.
Natural gas from Pohokura will be fed into the North Island gas network and the condensate will be piped to storage tanks at Omata near New Plymouth for shipping to refineries.
The Pohokura Project is being developed on behalf of the joint venture partners by Shell, as operator, with 48% interest. OMV has 26% and Todd 26% of the venture.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
