Kapuni is a small petroleum field and drilling site in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located in Taranaki, 85 kilometres southeast of New Plymouth.
It is the second largest onshore gas/condensate field in New Zealand after the Maui gas field off the Taranaki coast. Economically viable quantities of oil and gas were discovered in 1959 by a Royal Dutch/Shell-BP-Todd consortium, and full production began in 1969. The site has 13 wells which surround a central production station.
