Manage episode 429387312 series 2098280

But Energy Resources Aotearoa Chief Executive John Carnegie told Ryan Bridge production shouldn't have to be reduced, and it's a sign the gas market needs to be revitalised.
He says the country isn't in great shape, adding with declining gas reserves comes the threat of black outs.
