The government is putting off any decision on future petroleum block offers until the next Parliamentary term.

In 2018, the previous coalition government announced an end to new offshore oil drilling and committed to another three rounds of block offers (2018, 2019 and 2020), which is the permit tender process for new drilling in onshore Taranaki.
