Kia ora Andrew Riddell,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 16/04/2026 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
 
The Ministry is currently reports twice a week on stocks of petrol, diesel
and jet fuel. The reports give stock levels as they were some three days
before the release of the report.

There are other sites, nzoilwatch for example, which provide more detailed
and up to date reports of fuel stocks.

Please provide copies of all reports, communications and assessments
prepared since 28 February this year on ways of collecting and reporting
fuel stock data, including considerations of different frequencies of
reporting, reporting in real time v delayed reporting, and different ways
of differentiating between future fuel stock replenishments that have
differing degrees of uncertainty with respect to actually arriving in
Aotearoa New Zealand.
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 15/05/2026, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe. If you have any enquiries
regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
[1][MBIE request email].
