They have mentioned possible exports to NZ several times.While not a huge market,it all adds up New Zealand’s Marsden Point to halt bitumen production
Published date: 06 October 2020
Refining NZ will stop bitumen production at its 135,000 b/d Marsden Point refinery from next year, leaving New Zealand entirely reliant on imports of the product.
Marsden Point typically produces about 100,000-120,000 t/yr of bitumen, accounting for most of New Zealand's estimated bitumen consumption of around 160,000-170,000 t/yr. New Zealand typically imports around 50,000 t/yr of bitumen, although this may rise after Refining NZ halts output.
