A couple of green shoots beginning to emerge in the energy sector.  

US owned oil and gas company JETEX has applied for a permit to extract coal seam gas near Huntly, and Australia-based EnZed Energy has lodged an application for an offshore petroleum permit in Taranaki.  

Energy Resources Aotearoa CEO John Carnegie told Mike Hosking this is what the restart of an industry looks like. 

He says we’re seeing a rebuilding of a pipeline of prospects for the future, which means new entrants, new work programmes, and new possibilities.
