Cretaceous and Cenozoic Basin Evolution Based on Decompacted Sediment Thickness from Petroleum Wells around New Zealand

Christie, Louise Jane (Victoria University of Wellington, 2007)

Decompacted sedimentary data from 33 New Zealand exploration wells is used to investigate basin evolution and tectonics from around New Zealand. This analysis is directed to both a comparison of basin behaviour and a ...
Depositional History of Paleocene Sediments in the Offshore Canterbury Basin, New Zealand

Samuel, Sanjay Paul (Victoria University of Wellington, 2010)

The Paleocene interval within the Canterbury Basin has been relatively understudied with respect to the Neogene and Cretaceous intervals. Within the Paleocene interval is the Tartan Formation and the Charteris Bay Sandstone, ...
The Influence of Faulting on Hydrocarbon Migration in the Kupe Area, South Taranaki Basin, New Zealand

Hemmings-Sykes, Sam (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

Faults play an important role in petroleum systems as both barriers and conduits to the flow of hydrocarbons. An understanding of the relationship between fluid and gas migration and accumulation, and faulting is often ...
A Multi-Frequency Acoustic Investigation of Seafloor Methane Seep Sites at Omakere Ridge, Hikurangi Margin, New Zealand

Golding, Thomas Vasilios (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

Omakere Ridge is an anticlinal thrust ridge in water depths of 1100–1700mon the Hikurangi Margin, east of the North Island of New Zealand, and is an area of active seafloor methane seepage associated with an extensive ...
Palaeogeography of a Mid Miocene Turbidite Complex, Moki Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand.

Grain, Sarah (Victoria University of Wellington, 2008)

The Moki Formation, Taranaki Basin, New Zealand, is a Mid Miocene (Late Altonian to Early Lillburnian) sand-rich turbidite complex bounded above and below by the massive bathyal mudstone of the Manganui Formation. The Moki ...
Petroleum Geology and Geochemistry of Oils and Possible Source Rocks of the Southern East Coast Basin, New Zealand

Elgar, Nils Erik (Victoria University of Wellington, 1997)

The East Coast Basin of New Zealand contains up to 10,000 m of predominantly fine-grained marine sediments of Early Cretaceous to Pleistocene age, and widespread oil and gas seepages testify to its status as a petroleum ...
A Study of Unconventional Gas Accumulation in Dannevirke Series (Paleogene) Rocks, Canterbury Basin, New Zealand

Cozens, Nick (Victoria University of Wellington, 2011)

This thesis aims to assess the potential of unconventional gas accumulation of Danevirke aged (65-43 Ma) mudrock of the Canterbury Basin, South Island, New Zealand. Unconventional hydrocarbon resources contained in ...
Trace Metal Variations through the Tartan and Waipawa Formations: Implications for the Environment of Deposition

Fuerst, Alexander T. (Victoria University of Wellington, 2012)

An inorganic geochemical study of the Late Paleocene organic matter-rich Waipawa and Tartan formations was undertaken in order to investigate the depositional environment. The formation varies in thickness between 2 and ...
