It's thought people shouldn't get too ahead of themselves as the idea to bring back Northland's Marsden Point Oil Refinery is floated. 

The Government's investigating the feasibility of re-opening it as part of a study into New Zealand's fuel security requirements. 

The privately-owned fuel refinery was decommissioned in 2022 to become an import-only fuel terminal. 

Energy Resources Aotearoa's John Carnegie told Mike Hosking it's important to remember it's just a study at this stage, and it's not a commitment. 

He says the study asks whether we have sufficient fuel security in a post-oil refinery world - noting that so far, we haven't had any fuel shortages.
