From 9–10 June, New Plymouth, New Zealand, will host members of the oil and gas industry from New Zealand and around the world.

Keynote speakers include Rawson Resources Executive Chairman Dr John Conolly. Rawson is an Australian-based oil and natural gas exploration company with permits in the Otway, Surat, Cooper and Pedirka basins, and exploration interests in the Taranaki, Northland and Canterbury basins.
Rawson secured its interest in a permit in the Taranaki offshore basin last year through its shareholding in Kea Petroleum and, in September last year, its 50 per cent interest in a permit in the Canterbury Basin, with operator Zeanco holding the remaining 50 per cent.
