1 PEP Statoil New Zealand 2015 Annual Report of Iwi and Hapū Engagement prepared for The Minister of Energy and Resources March 2016

2 PEP Statoil New Zealand 2015 Annual Report on Iwi and Hapū engagement The Crown Minerals Act 1991 requires all Tier 1 permit holders to prepare an annual report on engagement with iwi and hapū. This report provides details of Statoil s engagement with Te Tai Tokerau iwi and hapū and covers the period of 12 months from December 2014 to 31 December Statoil is providing this report to iwi authority chairs and chief executives of Te Rarawa, NgaiTakoto and Te Aupouri who we have had the most interactive engagement with in We have included the facilitation report from the Te Rarawa Statoil workshop as an appendix. Identical copies of this report will be submitted for both Statoil s Reinga permits PEP and PEP The report will be submitted to New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals by 31 March PEP Statoil New Zealand 2015 Annual Report of Iwi and Hapū Engagement Page 2

3 Purpose This report provides details of Statoil s engagement with iwi and hapū and covers the period of 12 months from December 2014 to 31 December In December 2014 Statoil was awarded its second Northland/Reinga permit (PEP 57057) and also 50% working interest in blocks 57083, and with Chevron as operator. This report covers the two Northland/Reinga permits (PEP and 57057) where Statoil is the operator and has 100% equity share.the report is provided in accordance with section 33C of the Crown Minerals Act Statoil s approach to iwi and hapū engagement Statoil's approach to iwi and hapū engagement recognizes the importance of early and open engagement. It also recognises that Statoil had no prior knowledge or understanding of the local iwi and hapū and their perspectives in relation to the oil and gas sector, or any pre-existing relationships in the region when we first entered the country in December The objective of our initial engagement has been to listen, learn and understand more about the local perspective. It has meant starting small and taking incremental steps to widen the engagement, which can be informed by on-the-ground guidance on who and how to engage. We understand it takes time to develop understanding and relationships. Statoil has continued its approach from 2014 with regards to establishing dialogue, developing relationships, and getting the relevant information in order to engage appropriately and thus to establish the basis to inform and involve engagement highlights Statoil has continued to deepen and widen its engagement with Te Taitokerau iwi and hapū during As well as our on-going direct engagement with iwi authorities, we have been hosted at a number of workshops and meetings where we have been able to speak to a wider audience. These are detailed below: 9 December New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals hui At the same time as the new award in December 2014, New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals invited Statoil to speak with Northland iwi leaders. The hui involved Chief Executives, Chairpersons and their advisors from Te Rarawa, Te Aupouri and NgaiTakoto. The aim of the hui was to help iwi leaders learn more about the industry and the regulatory environment. Shell NZ and TGS also presented in the same industry session as Statoil, and other sessions included presentations from the Government s regulatory agencies, PEPANZ, and a meeting with the Minister for Energy and Resources February Te Runanga o Te Rarawa Statoil engagement workshop Statoil were invited to a two day workshop in February that was hosted and facilitated by Te Runanga o Te Rarawa. This workshop included trustees from Te Rarawa as well as representatives from Te Runanga o NgaiTakoto, Te Runanga Nui o Te Aupouri, Ngāti Kuri Trust Board, as well as staff from the Northland Regional Council, Far North District Council and Northland Inc. We sent a large delegation led by Vice President Pål Haremo and included experts in sound and marine life, as well as experience in indigenous engagement from Alaska. Our presentation was distributed to the participants so that they could use this in later discussions within their iwi/hapū. A report detailing the workshop was written by the PEP Statoil New Zealand 2015 Annual Report of Iwi and Hapū Engagement Page 3

This is attached as an appendix. 13 June Te Rūnanga o Nui Te Aupouri hui In June we were invited to visit Potahi Marae in Te Kao to share information about Statoil, our plans going forward and potential opportunities for the iwi. Statoil was represented by Country Manager Brynjulv Kløve and Social Performance Advisor, Jan Trønningsdal. This was Statoil s first visit to a marae and our first experience of a powhiri. Statoil also engaged a cultural advisor in order to be introduced in a respectful manner. The questions and discussion revolved around topics like international experience, local opportunities and transparency. 28 August Northland Regional Council and Te Tai Tokerau Maori Advisory Committee meeting In August we were invited to attend an information session with the Northland Regional Council and its Te Tai Tokerau Māori Advisory Committee in order to have an open discussion about our plans going forward, environmental track record and local opportunities in Northland and New Zealand in general. We had a good discussion regarding these issues. Vice President for Sustainability in Exploration, Hedda Felin, travelled to New Zealand to attend this meeting. Country Manager Brynjulv Kløve and Social Performance Advisor, Jan Trønningsdal, also attended. On-going commitment to regular engagement We recognise that the ability to regularly engage face-to-face with iwi and hapū is important. An essential part of maintaining momentum has been the appointment of Brynjulv Kløve as our permanent representative in New Zealand. A key focus for Mr Kløve has been to spend time in Northland meeting people, building relationships, and answering questions. Statoil has been proactive with providing iwi authorities with information relating to milestones in the work programme, which can then be distributed amongst relevant iwi/hapū as appropriate. We have also maintained an open door policy for information requests and invitations to meet, This is important with regards to continuing to take deliberate and incremental steps in order to deepen and widen our engagement. Iwi appointed environmental and cultural observer As part of our engagement with Te Runanga o Te Rarawa, the iwi authority chair requested that Statoil agree to allow an iwi representative on board the Aquila Explorer for five weeks while it conducted seismic testing. We provided funding to cover the iwi observer s costs while at sea, as well as Basic Offshore Survival Training (BOSIET) and essential equipment. The iwi observer reported on her experiences daily on a dedicated Facebook page and was able to answer questions from members of her iwi and hapū. Statoil plan to offer a similar opportunity as part of our planned coring operation to take place in early This role will have a formal position description and we will ask the iwi chairpersons we have a dialogue with to select a suitable representative.

5 Deepening our understanding and engagement In addition to seeking local advice on whom and how to engage Northland iwi and hapū we have also appointed a cultural advisor. The purpose of this role is to help us develop our understanding of tikanga Māori, te Reo Māori and cultural guidance during meetings held on marae and more generally. We also continue to seek local engagement advice and the advice offered by various New Zealand Government agencies, including New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals, local government bodies, and the Best Practice Guidelines for Engagement with Māori developed by Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ruanui Trust.

6 Iwi or hapū feedback In all the meetings listed above we have had open discussions and have received helpful and constructive feedback and advice. We have taken this into account in follow up meetings with many of the same iwi/hapū representatives. Next Steps In 2016 we plan to further deepen the existing relationships we have with iwi/hapū, extend our engagement to iwi we have not yet met, and to continue building the basis to inform and involve. We will repeat the effort of having a iwi appointed environmental and cultural observer on board the coring cruise vessel, and will also work with iwi authorities on identifying other projects that will be mutually beneficial. In addition our Country Manager will regularly visit Northland and continue our programme of on-going engagement with iwi, provide more information, and answer any questions iwi may have.

9 Pg. 01 Background Background Statoil is an operator with 100% equity share in petroleum exploration permits and in the Reinga Basin offshore Northland s west coast. The permits cover 11,670 square kilometres and are located approximately 100 kilometres from shore to the west of New Zealand's North Island, in water depths ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 metres. Their work programme is designed to fully evaluate the prospectivity of the permits in a staged manner within the 15-year permit timeframe outlined in the permit. Statoil is committed to collect new 2D seismic data and to undertake a seafloor surveys within the first three years. Following an analysis and interpretation of this data, Statoil will then decide what is any future steps they will take. In the New Zealand Block Offer 2014, Statoil was also awarded 50% working interest in blocks 57083, and with Chevron as operator. These permits are located in the East Coast and Pegasus basins, southeast off New Zealand s North Island. The permits cover more than 25,000 square kilometres and sit in water depths between 800 and 3,000 metres. The initial phase of the project will consist of data collection. Map source:

10 Pg. 02 Introduction Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide an independent facilitation report for Te Runanga O Te Rarawa regarding the engagement meeting held with STATOIL Ltd at Toka Tumoana Buildings in Kaitaia on the 16 th and 17 th February A letter was drafted by Haami Piripi, Chairman of Te Runanga o Te Rarawa inviting all Te Runanga o Te Rarawa Trustees, Tai Tokerau Iwi Representatives and local government representatives to a 2 day workshop with Statoil representatives to explore the protocols concerning our Maori customary and cultural interests, increase awareness and understanding of Statoil s operations and to provide an opportunity to explore potential future relationship protocols. These discussions with Statoil were held for the purpose of affirming kaitiakitanga (stewardship) and (rangatiratanga) responsibilities. It was anticipated that the outcome of the workshop would be to gain an understanding about Statoil Ltd and what is occurring in the Te Reinga Basin and to identify opportunities to preserve and protect our duties as kaitiaki (Guardians). Key focus areas The following key areas of focus drove the meeting: 1. The development of protocols to take into account customary and cultural issues and imperatives. 2. The participation in and the sharing of data and research where relevant and of advantage to iwi, and 3. The establishment of an independent Iwi monitoring role. These areas of focus led the discussions during the meeting. These areas of focus were accepted by the meeting participants. Whakatauaki Kia u ki te whakapono, me aroha tetahi ki tetahi Holdfast to your beliefs; with respect for one another.

11 Pg. 03 Introduction This whakatauaki of the Poroa, an eponymous ancestor for Te Rarawa was used to provide a safe environment for all meeting participants where individuals were able to maintain their beliefs and interact in frank and open discussion and debate that was amicable and respectful of each other. This whakatauaki was accepted by the meeting participants. Agreed Principles The following principles were presented to the meeting participants to provide another level of safety by which participants interacted. 1. Manaakitanga Caring is sharing 2. Kotahitanga Working together 3. Rangatiratanga Self autonomy These principles were accepted by the meeting participants. House keeping Meeting participants were provided with the following housekeeping matters: 1. Location of the assembly area should there be an unlikely event of a fire 2. Location of the conveniences for meeting participants 3. Designated smoking areas

12 Pg. 04 Day One Day One The programme for day one was as follows: 1. Whanauangatanga 2. Te Ao Maori: Our cultural history 3. Statoil: Who are we? 4. Engagement with indigenous peoples of Alaska On day one the meeting was opened in karakia by kaumatua (Elder) Tame Kahiti Murray (Wainui Marae) followed by a mihi whakatau by Haami Piripi (Chair, Te Runanga O Te Rarawa) and supported by kaumatua Dixon Motu (Te Rarawa marae) to welcome Statoil representatives, along with other iwi and council representatives. This was followed by introduction from the facilitator acting as Kaiarahi (Cultural support) for Statoil introducing Pal Haremo, Vice president of Statoil Exploration Activities who responded on behalf of Statoil. It was noted that they provided a waiata (song) from Norway in support of Mr Haremo. Rangatiratanga (self-autonomy) is important to us as Maori; it is for us as Maori to build the platform to forge the future of our Maori nation Whanaungatanga (Introductions) There were 33 participants at the meeting. In order for participants to know one another, participants introduced themselves and their organisations and groups that they represent. This process provided all participants with an understanding of who was participating in the two day workshop. Te Ao Maori: The Maori Worldview Mr Piripi provided the meeting with a general overview of Te Ao Maori. The importance of which was to help Statoil gain a better understanding of the Maori worldview. This presentation provided an insight to: Haami Piripi, Chairman, Te Runanga O Te Rarawa The construct of theology and philosophy The transfer of Matauranga Maori (traditional knowledge) Genealogy sets the methodology on how Maori interrelate with the environment Detailing the importance of whakapapa (genealogy) The importance of Matariki (Pleiades) for Maori annual planning The importance of Kaitiakitanga, the principle and practise The importance of whanaungatanga (relationships)

13 Pg. 05 Day One The importance of Maori ancestors such as Maui and Kupe The impact of colonisation and the effect it had on Maori The impact of the monetary system on the trade and barter system of Maori Mr Piripi highlighted that our ancestors adapted to their environment and over time modern Maori have adapted and evolved in a way similar to our ancestors, where Maori have maintained our place in the environment. The underlying function of kaitiakitanga is a foundation of who we are, interconnections made to everything through whakapapa and as kaitiaki it is our Inherit responsibility to protect the environment our ancestors had left us through to the present. We have maintained this role since the beginning of time. An opportunity was provided by the Facilitator for any further contributions from the meeting participants. We want to operate in a sustainable way, sharing your values with us will help us to ensure they are protected Pal Haremo, Vice President, Exploration Statoil: Who are we? Pal Haremo provided an overview of Statoil which included their business, values, issues they face (global issues) and other projects they are involved with. Sustainable development is first and foremost about how we run our business. We aim to protect the environment, people and society and, through local projects to help to develop local communities where we operate. Statoil is the largest oil company in Norway. The company has supported the transformation of Norway and is one of the largest oil producers in the North Sea. Statoil operates more than 30 offshore oil and gas fields with both fixed and floating installations. Statoil is ranked No.1 on the 2014 Global 100 Index of the world s most sustainable energy companies, and number four of all corporations. (Source: Corporate Knights, 2014.) Their values are based on a sustainable environment, protecting culture, providing local employment opportunities by supporting communities through stakeholder engagement. Stakeholder engagement is conducted at the corporate level, but also on a day-to-day basis in the countries and projects in which we operate. Their values are at the core of their management regime. These values drive their performance and guide us on how we do business, and in how we work together and with all our external stakeholders.

14 Pg. 06 Day One We involve stakeholder groups who are affected by - and who may affect - our operations around the world. Stakeholders who are relevant to our operations include governments, partners, suppliers, investors and shareholders, customers, employees, unions, civil society, local communities and indigenous peoples. There are some major issues that affect the global community and us at Statoil such as climate change and environmental sustainability. Energy is important globally so we have diversified into renewable energies such as wind farm power generation 1. Another project that we are involved in includes the global oil industries working together on carbon capture 2. Mr Haremo stated that Statoil will: 1. Keep this group informed of all their activities 2. Will utilise the methods adopted in their indigenous engagements with the Alaskan tribes. 3. Seek to gain the trust of meeting stakeholders and their constituents An opportunity was provided to the meeting participants to ask question directly from Mr Haremo. Questions and answers were recorded on the day and should be made available to meeting participants. Partnering is important with communities early in the process is important to Statoil Engagement with indigenous people of Alaska Ella Ede provided a presentation on Statoil engagement with the indigenous peoples of Alaska. The Inupiat Native tribes had acquired an ownership model over natural resources on their 1 Ten kilometers off the south-west coast of Norway, Statoil s Hywind project is putting next generation technology through its paces. indputtingwindpowertothetest.aspx?redirectshorturl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.statoil.com%2fhywind Ella Ede, Indigenous Cultural Advisor 2 Statoil has been considered a global leader within carbon capture and storage (CCS) since Statoil is an active champion for further development and use of this technology.

15 Pg. 07 Day One lands both above and below the land through the Alaskan Native Peoples Claims Settlement Act Inupiat Tribe of Alaska have lived off their lands for thousands of years and have been able to balance their traditional way of life with development through open dialogue in partnership with industries, taking their time to build relationships and protecting their culture through Tribal Corporations. Statoil corporate values guide their approach in the way we have worked with the Inupiat by being respectful of Inupiaq values, frequent meetings with their stakeholder groups and listening to them This takes time and we need to be consistent in our approach with ongoing, two way communication and responding to questions and concerns by working closely with local people for local solutions. Aligning Statoil values with the inupiaq Source: Ella Ede (2015) Engagement with indigenous people of Alaska

16 Pg. 08 Day One Key notes: The Alaskan Native Peoples Claims Settlement Act The values of the Inuiqiap Tribe have been incorporated into how Statoil engages with them. The use or their traditional ecological knowledge is incorporated into Statoil research projects. There is an educational programme that is being run and supported by Statoil in schools. Due to time constraints there was no time available to meeting participants to ask questions of Ms Ede. Closing remarks The facilitator provided an overview of the days proceeding s acknowledging that meeting participants had adhered to the whakatauaki and the agreed principles. Mr Piripi acknowledged all of the meeting participants for their contributions then asked kaumatua Tame Kahiti Murray to close the meeting in karakia (prayer).

17 Pg. 09 Day two Day two The programme for day one was as follows: 1. Questions and answers for Ms Ede 2. Presentations on sound and marine life 3. Iwi Observer on Aquilla 4. The study of Seismic Data 5. The investment and distribution 6. Traditional Knowledge Proposal 7. Where to from here 8. Concluding remarks Opening Remarks The facilitator reflected on the previous days agenda and provided an overview of the agenda to meeting participants. It was also another opportunity to reflect on the whakatauaki and the 3 guiding principles to ensure that everyone was respectful of each other no matter what their personal views were. It s painful as a marine biologist to work with Statoil as a scientist i care about our environments Engagement with indigenous people of Alaska An opportunity was provided to the meeting participants to ask questions of Ms Ede about her presentation. Questions and answers were recorded on the day and should be made available to meeting participants. Presentations on sound and marine life Two presentations on marine sounds were provided to the meeting by Jurgen Wiessenberger. The presenter provide a comparative scientific measuring tool of sound on land and sound in the marine environment to help meeting participants to gain a better understanding of scientific research on sound.

18 Pg. 10 Day two Source: INGEBRET GAUSLAND, Statoil, Stavanger, Norway. Scientific values for measuring sound in Air and Water Sound levels in the marine environment travel longer distances than in air due to the density of the water. A range of marine sounds was provided to the meeting participants to hear the differences between manmade sound and that of marine life. A seismic signal is quantified by a variety of measures in the time and frequency domains and will also be of importance for the evaluation of possible impact that the signals may have on marine life. Statoil respects the presence of marine mammals in their natural habitat and follows precautionary rules and regulations to minimise potential negative effects of our activities, especially during seismic data acquisition. We always establish a safety zone around the seismic vessel and stop data acquisition if a marine mammal enters the zone. Subsistence hunting and the environment are very important to the local Inupiat people. As part of preparing our impact risk assessment, we interview locals and incorporate their knowledge about the effect of noise on marine mammals from motorboats, footsteps on ice, big ships and how traditional ecological knowledge has been integrated into research findings that are used by Statoil to inform their decision making on mitigating any effects on the cultural values of the Inuqiap tribe.

19 Pg. 11 Day two We didn t think that iwi or Maori cared about us or this type of work Comment from crew Tersha Perry, Iwi Observer Iwi Observer on Aquilla Tersha Perry provided an overview of her experience onboard the seismic survey vessel Aquilla. She stated that it was a learning experience for her to be onboard the vessel and having access to different areas and experts in their fields from across the globe was great. Whilst onboard the vessel Ms Perry provided a social media blog where she was able to communicate with her family but also to provide updates on her roles as the cultural observer recording mammal sightings including how she felt from a wairua perspective. She highlighted that she did karakia each morning and evening including breaking out into waiata (song) when the moment struck her. One experience she shared which she felt was definitely related to an impact on wairua was when the vessel neared Manawatauwhi (Three Kings Islands) when all power to the vessel shut down. It was her belief that the vessel had gotten close to Te Ara Wairua and that it was the wairua in the area that caused this event. Source: Amilla Vatne Aamondt (2015) Exploration and operations The seismic vessel Aquilla Explorer She noted that out of the 40 crew onboard there were only two Maori onboard the vessel who had unskilled roles 1 was the Refuse Office and the other was the cleaner. In her discussion with them she found that they have had these roles onboard for a number of years and that she was the first Maori they have seen onboard the vessel that was actually involved in the research. She noted from both Maori onboard We didn t think that iwi or Maori cared about this type of work Ms Perry also provided an overview of what resources and training was made available to her and proffered some ideas on how this role may be better resourced in the future and highlighting the Code of Conduct for Marine Mammals may be up for review.

20 Pg. 12 Day two Questions and answers were recorded on the day and should be made available to meeting participants. Advancements in seismic technology have helped find, drill and produce oil and natural gas with the least possible impact to the environment. The study of Seismic Data Camilla Vatne Aamondt provided a presentation about Statoil and its work programme in New Zealand and provided some seismic data and its interpretation to the meeting participants. The permitted area The permits cover 11,670 square kilometres and are located approximately 100 kilometres from shore to the west of New Zealand's North Island, in water depths ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 metres. New Zealand Work programme Camilla Vatne Aamondt The work programme is designed to fully evaluate the potential of the permits in a staged manner within the 15-year permit timeframe. Statoil is committed to collect new 2D seismic data and to undertake a seafloor surveys within the first three years. Following an analysis and interpretation of this data, Statoil will decide on further steps which could be made in the 3 to 6 years. Source: Camilla Vatne Aamondt (2015) Exploration and operations The area in red is where the seismic exploration was undertaken.

21 Pg. 13 Day two Interpreting Seismic Data Advancements in seismic technology have helped find, drill and produce oil and natural gas with the least risk and the least possible impact to the earth. We as operators explore for oil and gas, the use of geophysical technologies helps to reduce risk in regards to cost, safety and damage to the environment. Source: Camilla Vatne Aamondt (2015) Exploration and operations This type of seismic information is used to: Provide an indication of oil and gas presence and locations Accurately plan locations for potential wells, Reducing the probability of risk associated with cost, Minimizing the environmental impact of the oil and gas exploration.

22 Pg. 14 Day two New Zealand Geological Resources Source: Camilla Vatne Aamondt (2015) Exploration and operations An overview of the rock source and make-up of the Te Reinga Basin was provided based on 5 study areas from Taranaki to New Caledonia. Generally cretaceous rock has been dredged from the Te Reinga basin with some indications of oil seeps. Meteorological and oceanographic Data Planning any future drilling operations in the Reinga Basin, requires met ocean data is important to better understand weather and ocean patterns for ensuring the right equipment and stability of platforms. This study will be provided by Geo Nuclear Sciences (GNS) in collaboration with Statoil. University of Auckland Statoil in collaboration with University of Auckland is sponsoring 2 MSc projects to investigate the geology of the seafloor, sedimentology at Earth Science, School of Environment. These two projects will investigate: Active deep marine seafloor processes of the Reinga-Northland basins Recent stratigraphic and tectonic evolution of the Reinga-Northland basins using high resolution seismic stratigraphy

23 Pg. 15 Day two Questions and answers were recorded on the day and should be made available to meeting participants. Fiscal Overview Mr Haremo provided an overview on Statoil investment into the New Zealand project and the contributions that area required to be made to the government. Timeline Statoil investment into New Zealand Phase $15M USD Phase $35M USD Phase $450M USD Depending on the data collection, interpretation, decisions and approvals the following potential oil resources exists within the permitted area held by Statoil. Potential Oil Resource Projected Oil price per barrel Potential Oil Resource Value 50 M barrels $100 USD $50B USD Statoil Contribution to the New Zealand Government Mr Haremo indicated that the first component to the New Zealand Government was a 5% royalty fee. On top of this there was up 43% tax paid to the New Zealand Government. These two percentages were negotiated and fixed.

24 Pg. 16 Day two Source: Pal Haremo (2015) Fiscal Overview Of note was the potential profit share that goes back to the New Zealand Government is around percent this is yet to be determined based on future decisions to enter into Phase 2 of this project. Questions and answers were recorded on the day and should be made available to meeting participants. Let s do the project together so we can determine whether there is any value for stakeholders. Traditional Knowledge Proposal Jan Tronningsdal provided a presentation that reflected on Statoils 5 key values, 3 capacity development initiatives and a potential joint project proposal based on traditional knowledge held by Tangata Whenua. The five key values started by Statoil committed to creating lasting values for communities, aiming to better understand the environment, preventing harm to the environment, creating local opportunities, respecting human rights by being open and transparent. Jan Tronningsdal,

All of which reflected Collaborative approach between industry, communities impacted by oil sands development and the government. Local Opportunity Centre in Canada Source: Jan Tronningsdal (2015) Social Performance and a way forward. These initiatives are aimed to help develop a skilled and safe workforce of and for local businesses. Providing local vendors with access to training and business development tools and ensures that contractors have access to information about current and future business opportunities. Questions and answers were recorded on the day and should be made available to meeting participants. Key note: Meeting participants would like to view any protocol agreements with other indigenous peoples and that this information is made available in due course.

26 Pg. 18 Where to from here Let me be clear, I have come to this two day workshop to become better informed and take this back to my people; I am not here to make any decisions in respect to other matters raised on the board Sam Tecklenburg, Ohaki Marae Delegate, Te Rarawa Where to from here The facilitator provided the meeting participants with an overview of the key matters noted from meeting participants during the two day workshop which are as follows: Future engagements Relationships Protocols Projects Other? The facilitator also provided other matters that require consideration to aid thinking for Where to from here? The time line permit expiration 15 years A Steering Group from this meeting Planning Resourcing 1. Future engagements The meeting participants had identified that before any future engagement may occur with Statoil that each organization represented during the hui will report back to their respective constituencies with the information shared during the two day workshop. There was general agreement that whanau and hapu including the wider Te Hiku and Tai Tokerau community also need to become better informed. It was further agreed and supported that before any further meetings with Statoil can take place; existing Iwi Leadership forums have to discuss this further in order to provide a collective view and future direction. 2. Relationships During the two day workshop it became obvious that there was an appetite to investigate form of relationship. However, before any further discussion on this can take place, as noted above further discussions would be required to be had with Te Hiku and Tai Tokerau Iwi Leadership forums for direction.

27 Pg. 19 Where to from here It was also noted that there are two relationships for engagement that require further consideration: Crown and Tangata Whenua relationship Tangata whenua and Statoil relationship Of note was the presentation Engagement with the indigenous peoples of Alaska provided by Ella Ede. 3. Protocols During the two day workshop it had been noted that protocols or other such mechanisms could be entered into with Statoil. However this matter was also considered inappropriate for further discussion until the matter noted in future engagements is addressed. Of note was the presentation on sound and marine life provided by Jurgen Weissenberger 4. Projects During the two day workshop presentations were made regarding indigenous traditional ecological knowledge, its sources, its value and its incorporation into the Statoil work programme. Of note was the presentation Traditional Knowledge Proposal presented by Jan Tronningdal 5. Other? There were no other key matters raised by the meeting participants. 6. Considerations The timeline factor was raised for discussion and was generally accepted that the Government had approved a 15 year permit and that there is a need to plan a way forward. Of note was the presentation Seismic Data provided by Camilla Vatne Aamondt highlighting that it would be up to another 3 6 years before any decision would be made to further progress to the next stage. Resourcing was a matter raised during this discussion. The facilitator sought clarification from Statoil whether there are resources available for stakeholder engagement?

28 Pg. 20 Where to from here Concluding remarks The facilitator provided an overview of day two and acknowledged all those present for their attendance and their resolve to be pono (true), tika (right) and aroha (respectful) to the whakatauaki of Poroa Kia U ki te whakapono, me aroha tetahi ki tetahi and the 3 tikanga (guiding principles) agreed for the meeting. Mr Haremo provided an overview of the last two days from the Statoil perspective acknowledging all those that attended the workshop and providing him and his team with a better insight to understanding Iwi and an appreciation of the Maori worldview. Mr Piripi provided an overview from an Iwi perspective acknowledging Statoil for their attendance, expertise and information shared over the two days. He also acknowledged all the meeting participants for their interactions over the past two days. Kaumatua Dixon Motu was then invited to close the meeting in karakia

29 Pg. 21 Conclusion Conclusion My overall assessment of the Two Day workshop is as follows: 1. The meeting coordination and resources required were well provided for including catering and security. 2. All meeting participants recognised and adhered to the whakatauaki (proverb) of Poroa and acted in accordance with agreed tikanga (principles) of the meeting. 3. There was respect shown to all presenters which ensured a good flow of information and discussion. 4. The discussions during question and answer times were well received by all participants. 5. There were varying detailed questions posed to Statoil which they responded to as best they could in an open and transparent way. 6. Challenges and assumptions were made to Statoil were acknowledged and received with respect. The workshop was well attended and showed that Iwi and Statoil can engage in a proactive manner whilst maintaining individual and collective positions whilst recognizing the challenges that lay ahead. Overall this process is to ensure that Maori culture and cultural values are protected and the environment is sustained for future generations. Recommendations The following recommendation is made: 1. That this report is received by the Meeting Coordinators for feedback and comments from the presenters noted in this report. 2. That before any further meetings with Statoil can take place; existing Iwi Leadership forums have to discuss this in order to provide a collective view and further direction on any potential future relationship, protocol or projects with Statoil.

30 Pg. 22 Meeting Coordination Meeting Coordination Overall the meeting coordination was well executed by the Meeting Coordinators Bronwyn Hunt (Te Rarawa) and Bryn Klove (Statoil). There were only 2 minor incidents that had minor effects on the meeting. Bronwyn Hunt, Principle Advisor Strategy and Policy, Te Rarawa 1. On day one there was an uninvited visitor who had made outbursts to all the meeting participants prior to the lunch break, condemning them for holding a secret meeting and cutting deals with Statoil This matter was resolved by calling the meeting to lunch and removing the manuhiri from the conference facility. The facilitator and others mediated with the uninvited guest, an invitation to join the meeting participants for lunch was extended but was declined and left on their own accord. 2. On day two, two further uninvited visitors attended the meeting; these two people were let in at the discretion of the Security Liaison Officer. Both people had opportunity to pose questions to Statoil and meeting participants. One visitor left and the other remained until the meeting closed. Venue and resources The venue provided for meeting participants was of satisfactory standard providing meeting participants with a comfortable and safe environment with all resources available when required. Bryn Klove, Statoil, NZ Manager Catering The catering provided over the two day workshop was well received and enjoyed by all meeting participants. It is suggested that a letter of acknowledgement is sent to the caterers for the meals provided. Security Security was a concern in the lead up to the two day workshop. It was agreed that professional security be provided to ensure the safety of all meeting participants. This was in light of threats being made on social media. Apart from the two minor matters noted above there were no further security incidents that put at risk the safety of meeting participants. It is suggested that a letter of acknowledgement be provided to Kia Tupato Security Ltd for their professional presence and service.
