The agreement was negotiated by the Trans-Tasman Oil & Gas Alliance, which comprises the EPMU, Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ), Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) and the Australian Workers Union (AWU), and was established to work towards pay parity for all oil and gas workers in New Zealand and Australia.

"Black Gold" is directed by Tony Sutorius (Unreal Films) and features interviews with EPMU national industrial officer Paul Tolich and EPMU organiser Ross Henderson, MUNZ national secretary Joe Fleetwood, MUA's Mick Doleman, AWU's David Healey and workers in the industry.
