TePuia Gas Seeps on the North Island of New Zealand

New Zealand geologists Dave Francis and Alexandra Johansen explore a natural gas seep once used to heat and light a local hospital in New Zealand. This seep is located within TransOrient Petroleums 2.25 million acre exploration permit. Active gas and oil seeps such as this provide proof positive that in deep underground "kitchens" gas and oil are being produced by the Whangai and Waitangi Black shales. These are mature source rocks, rich in organic matter which under the pressure and heat associated with the depth they are found cause them to create and expel gas and oil.
