Gas reserves 'stable, consistent' - Ben Gerritson

From Morning Report, 7:53 am on 22 May 2018

There's about 10 and a half years' worth of gas New Zealand has in reserve, according to the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment. It's roughly what the government predicted New Zealand had left when they banned new offshore oil and gas exploration in April, but some in the industry say there's not going to be enough in the pipeline. Ben Gerritson of First Gas - the company which pipes gas to most of the North Island - talks to Susie Ferguson. It's a stable and consistent result, he says.
