Overview

APPEA assists its member companies by working with the state, territory and Commonwealth governments to implement policies that promote investment and maximise returns to the Australian community from the development of the nation’s oil and gas resources.

The association seeks to increase community and government understanding of the upstream petroleum industry by publishing information about its activities and economic importance to the nation. APPEA also provides its members with a number of forums for exchanging ideas and contributing to the development of association policy positions.

There are three categories of membership: Full Member, Associate Member and Honorary Life Members (this category of membership is awarded to persons who, in the opinion of APPEA Board, have rendered meritorious service to APPEA or the industry).
