Kapuni is a small hydrocarbons field and drilling site in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located within a dairy farming area in Taranaki, 85 km (53 mi) south of New Plymouth.

It is the second largest onshore gas/condensate field in New Zealand after the Maui gas field off the Taranaki coast.[1]

Economically viable quantities of oil and gas were discovered in 1959[2] by a Royal Dutch/Shell-British Petroleum-Todd consortium, and full production began in 1969.

The site has 13 wells which surround a central production station.
