ABSTRACT: Extensive research has been undertaken to model the petroleum system of the Maui Field within the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand. Nevertheless, there are persistent uncertainties surrounding its intricate petroleum system, the processes of hydrocarbon generation, and migration. Despite its status as New Zealand’s largest petroleum producer, the historical account of hydrocarbon formation, migration, and charging in this field remains largely enigmatic. This systematic literature review offers a comprehensive summary of recent advancements and various scenarios pertaining to the accumulation and migration of hydrocarbons in the Maui Field, situated within the Taranaki Basin. The insights derived from this review hold substantial significance for both scholars and industry professionals, providing guidance for future research and enhancing the oilfield sector’s capacity to assess hydrocarbon potential and gain a deeper understanding of the petroleum system operating within this basin.
