New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals (NZP&M) opened the nomination period for the Blocks Offer 2019 on 30 April 2019.Â  Nominations for blocks to be included in the next acreage offer can be submitted until 28 June 2019. The nomination period opened in conjunction with the delayed Blocks Offer 2018, which also opened on 30 April 2019.  The Block Offer 2019 is planned to be announced in 2020.  After the change in policy in 2018, to only allow blocks to be offered within the onshore Taranaki region, nominated areas can only be submitted from this area.Â  However interested parties can include areas released in previous rounds, including the currently open Blocks Offer 2018.  Nominations for acreage can be submitted to blockoffernominations@mbie.govt.nz.Â  Nominee companies are under no obligation to apply for the areas if they are included in the round.
