Need to take to the skies. well away from the Earth I think... LOL.

Opportunity to test a Transport interface

[ArMaP]

Is it me or are the quakes, on average, getting slightly smaller?

Well here goes the 'False Flag Spin Mongers'

Seismograph shows Nukes going off maybe 5 in total in Pegasus basin
Here we go again : This time we know what to look for :
Here is the company doing exploratory work: Oh They are from Texas "Skull n Bones" The Bush Family.
Anadarko and the Pegasus Basin exploratory works ( AKA Nuke planting division):

Here is the ship they brought down to implant the nukes in the sea bed. (Look up it's whereabouts)

Where did this story come from? ACTIVIST CORNER and BEFOREITSNEWS

[The Matrix Traveller]

Exploration for Oil and Gas in NZ has been going on for Years and Years. Nothing new.

Yes Earthquakes appear to be getting smaller (Normal) but sometimes we speak too Soon...

Christchurch is just one example of the so called experts not quite getting it right.   

So for now.... I am just the observer... Don't shoot the messenger just yet.  LOL...

Anadarko recognizes the opportunity to operate in New Zealand as a privilege, and we are dedicated to protecting the natural beauty of New Zealand. We believe operating safely and in a responsible manner is paramount as we aim
to form a long-term partnership with the nation that will benefit New Zealand for years to come.


HTML Area 1
Anadarko New Zealand Company
Anadarko has been actively engaged in New Zealand since 2008. We have established an office in Wellington and advanced exploratory programmes in both deepwater Taranaki and the Canterbury Basins where we expect to test 2-3 exploratory prospects in late-2013/14.



In December 2012, the New Zealand Government announced the awarding of two additional adjoining petroleum exploration permits to Anadarko in the Pegasus Basin, which is located Southeast of the Wairarapa. The next step here is to continue the extensive science work and desktop and geological surveys to gain a clear picture of the environment and the rock formations that exist thousands of feet below the seabed. All of the science requires a significant investment of time, and any testing of identified prospects would only occur years down the road, pending the results of our analysis.


While there is still a lot of exploration work and analysis to be done, we are optimistic about the potential our activities present for New Zealand's future.

Among Anadarko's core values is servant leadership, defined as placing the success of others above our own. This describes our approach to the sustainability of our operations. We look to extend success beyond our commercial interests, to our human interests, and we look forward to delivering real gains for New Zealand's economy.

Leader in Deepwater Exploration
Anadarko is recognized worldwide for its leading deepwater exploration, production and project-management expertise. Leveraging leading-edge technology, Anadarko ranks in the top five for number of wells drilled in water depths greater than 1,500 meters and is the second most active driller in water depths greater than 2,300 meters over the last 10 years, according to IHS Energy. The company has been recognized on a number of occasions with technology awards from the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) for achievements that include the world's first classic spar, truss spar and cell spar, as well as the world's deepest and largest natural gas processing facility at Independence Hub.

Basin


Basin Summary
Exploration is at a very early stage. There is a thick sedimentary sequence, potential traps, and direct hydrocarbon indicators.

Pegasus Basin Fact File [775 kB PDF]
Pegasus Basin Map [299 kB JPEG]

Key facts
Location
An offshore basin of about 25,000 km2 immediately to the south of the North Island.


Geology
Pacific Plate basin to seaward of modern subduction zone at north flank of Chatham Rise. Close to the zone of transition where modern oblique convergence translates to dextral strike-slip on the Marlborough faults.

Oldest basin-fill believed to be Cretaceous and Paleogene passive margin sequence. Thick Neogene deposits. Modern setting also passive margin. Little deformation.

 

Prospectivity
Gas and oil
Gas hydrates

Water depths
0 - 3000 m +


Wells
No wells in this basin.


Hydrocarbons
Bottom-simulating reflectors assumed to be gas hydrates. Direct hydrocarbon indicators on seismic. Oil seep onshore north of Kaikoura.


Prospects
Unexplored.


Source rocks
Early Cretaceous marine shales; Late Cretaceous and Paleocene Whangai Formation marine mudstone; Late Paleocene Waipawa Formation marine black shale.


Reservoir rocks
Cretaceous, Paleogene and Neogene transgressive and turbidite sandstones; fractured Late Cretaceous to Paleocene shales.

Something of interest which I was involved with, back in 1978/79, off the East Coast of the South Island.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/marlborough-express/news/kaikoura/4499465/UFOs-were-all-natural

There is indeed another side to the story of what occurred during this period of time.

The Video unfortunately has been removed (Not surprisingly) But the text is there.

Here is one over 4.0 Magnitude today...


Public Id: 2013p624208

So I am still watching with Interest... 

NOTE: all these are very Shallow..

Now we have....

White Island is a vent to one of these Trenches just of the East Coast of the North Island,
in Bay of Plenty.


A small eruption occurred at White Island at 10:23 on Tuesday 20 August 2013 (NZ local time)
and continued for about 10 minutes.

The eruption column was visible from the Bay of Plenty coast with a plume rising to about 4 km
above sea level before slowly dispersing.


This video below shows the White Island Volcano tour advertisement.

Got this from the NZ Herald today Matrix!

Bigger event could happen 'at any time'

Civil Defence will monitor White Island (Whakari) following a small eruption which could be part of a sequence leading to a bigger event.

Following yesterday morning's blast, sightseers were warned another eruption could occur "at any time with little or no warning".

The alert status remained at level 2, and the Aviation Colour Code had been lowered from red to orange, Bay of Plenty Civil Defence said.

Yesterday's small eruption occurred at 10.23am, lasted for about 10 minutes and produced mostly steam. It was visible from the Bay of Plenty coast, with a plume rising to about 4km above sea level before slowly dispersing, said Emergency Management Group spokesman Clinton Naude.

Activity had since returned to normal.

"The eruption originated in the active crater area that has been experiencing very small mud eruptions in recent weeks," he said.

"The eruption threw mud and rocks a short distance from the source, and produced large volumes of white steam."

Weather radar observations showed a small proportion of volcanic ash was carried with the steam, Mr Naude said.

White Island has been experiencing low-level activity since last August.

There was no evidence to link White Island's volcanic activity to the Seddon earthquakes, Mr Miller said.

What I found odd is how the Science dude say's there is no correlation to  this volcano and the the quake's...

We need Pegasus videos of that caliber
