Introducing NZP&M

A review undertaken in 2010 showed that there was an immediate and ongoing need to increase Crown capability and capacity to meet the government’s objective of maximising the returns to New Zealand from the development of oil, gas and mineral resources. On 2 May 2011, New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals replaced Crown Minerals, to manage the petroleum and minerals estate on behalf of the Crown.

Recruiting now!

New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals builds on the strengths of Crown Minerals, but has a strengthened commercial focus, greater sector and industry leadership responsibilities, and enhanced capability in the form of specialist skill sets and greater numbers.
