The Taranaki Basin is New Zealand’s premier Oil and Gas exploration region with about 11 petroleum mining licenses or permits fields. The production and use of Hydrocarbons in New Zealand only became significant in the 1960s in terms of the country’s economy and its fuel needs. A BP 2008 Statistical Energy Survey established that New Zealand consumed an average of 151.03 barrels a day. Over 80% of New Zealand’s Oil and Gas comes from the Maui and Kapuni fields. Another BP Statistical Energy Survey of 2007 reported that the country had a natural gas production of 4.01m billion and the consumption stood at 3.74 billion cubic metres.
Major industry players include companies such as Shell, NZ Oil and Gas, a wellington based petroleum and mineral exploration company with permits in the Taranaki basin and coking deposits in the Paparoa mountain range; Powerco, 100% public listed company, the second largest gas and electricity company with further operations in Tasmania and Australia, and the Auckland Gas company that provides gas for residential or commercial customers in the Auckland region and is a fervent competitor having been in the market for quite a long time.
The petroleum products industry in New Zealand consists of five companies: British Petroleum (BP), Chevron (marketing as Caltex), Mobil (an affiliate of ExxonMobil), Shell and Gull. BP, Caltex, Mobil and Shell dominate the market and supply a full range of products. Gull has a smaller market share and has limited its participation to petrol and diesel sales. Gull was the first oil company to offer biofuels in New Zealand; a blend of premium petrol (90%) and bio-ethanol (10%) is available at many of its retail outlets. Mobil has now also entered the bio-fuel market in New Zealand. It now offers regular and premium petrol blended with bio-ethanol, and a 5% bio-diesel blend at a few of its retail outlets.
This month, the Economic Development Ministry in New Zealand granted ROC Oil ltd. and its joint venture partners exploration permit PEP52181. Located offshore Taranaki, the permit contains the Kaheru prospect and is on trend with the Rimu Oil and Gas fields and Kauri gas and condensate field. The prospect has 3D seismic coverage and the agreed work program for the five year term includes an exploration well (Kaheru-1) in year three. ROC will operate the 171.5km permit with other participating interests as ROC Oil (NZ-operated) – 50%; Mighty River Power and Gas Investments- 20%, L&M Energy- 15% and Mosaic Oil NL- 15%.

We're in the final days of the Bush (translation: "BIG OIL") administration.
They've got us in thumbscrews trying to break the will of the American people to not drill in AK or off-shore. He's on tv right now telling us to write our congressmen to get it opened up.
This is what it's all about.

L’associazione ambientalista Forest & Bird ha rivelato il progetto governativo di consentire scavi minerari in 7000 ettari di foreste di alto valore nella West Coast Paparoa National Park, nella Great Barrier Island e nella penisola di Coromandel. Secondo Kevin Hackwell, di Forest & Bird, si tratta di aree di straordinario valore paesaggistico e ecologico, motivo per cui sono stati protetti dalle miniere. “Non si tratta solodi colline coperte di ginestre, ma di rarissime rane di Hochstetter, di specie minacciate come l’alzavola bruna, di foreste mature e aree selvatiche incontaminate”.
Canola, Olive and Peanut oil are mono-unsaturated fats. Safflower, Sunflower, Corn, Soy and Cottonseed oils are poly-unsaturated fats. These all lower total cholesterol and LDL (bad cholesterol).
If I remember correctly, the mono-unsaturated fats not only lower total cholesterol and LDL, they also raise HDL (good cholesterol).
The Canola oil has the least flavor if you don't want the flavor of the oil to be noticeable in what you are preparing – like a salad dressing. Olive oil has a flavor – medium to strong depending on the strength of the olive oil.
Any oil that is used for deep fat frying – every time it is heated, will gain more and more trans fats from the heat. So if you want to eat something fried in a restaurant, you'll get less trans fats if your order is in the first use of the oil.
Hope that helps.

I just decided to BOYCOTT BP! They actually had the audacity to recently raise gas prices!! My final visit to a BP station was two days ago. This is the only way to force them and their competitors to lower prices. The GREEDY oil companies CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY to the recession with their high gas prices. When BP has no choice but to lower their prices, so will the other greedy oil companies! It’s a domino effect that can only work if we ALL BOYCOT BP!!

La mayoría del trabajo SERA fuera del aula y en los parques nacionales. ALGUnos de los parques nacionales que mi grupo visitará son Mount Cook, Fjordland, y Paparoa. Además caminaremos POR el Glaciar de Fox y navegaremos en kayak en Abel Tasman. Finalmente, el viaje incluye un baño con los delfines y la observación de ballenas.

La semana es un paseo educativo para explorar e integrar las perspectivas antropológicas y ambientales de la sostenibilidad en Sydney. La clase es sobre recursos naturales y conservación E incluye muchas actividades de campo por toda la ciudad. Visitaremos la Ópera de Sydney y muchos museos en la ciudad. Vamos a caminar POR el Parque Nacional Royal y también en las Montanas Azules. Por último, el grupo disfrutará un crucero por el puerto.
EDIT
In Spanish, there is no equivalent to "maymester", so maybe you have to explain what it is.
