History of The Journal
Over 60 years ago, the Australian government was concerned at the lack of petroleum exploration and commissioned Institute Francaise du Petrole (IFP) to complete a national survey of the country’s petroleum potential. A group of local explorers, headed by Reg Sprigg, didn’t believe the results and set out to prove the IFP report wrong. The effort commenced with the formation of the Australian Petroleum Exploration Association (APEA) in 1960. APEA’s aim was to hold an annual conference where technical papers would be presented and published to move the fledgling Australian upstream industry forward.
The first APEA Journal was published in 1961, reflecting the papers presented at the annual industry event and the next decade resulted in the greatest period of petroleum exploration success Australia has ever seen!
In 1996, as the industry grew and matured, the association and the journal changed its name to the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA). 27 years later, The APPEA Journal moved from a printed book, to being available online. In line with the organisations name change in September 2023, the Journal, now known as the Australian Energy Producers Journal (from volume 64, published online in May 2024), continues to grow in stature, annually.
Since 2017, CSIRO Publishing has been working with Australian Energy Producers, to produce the Journal annually. Australian-based and fully Australian-owned, CSIRO Publishing ensures content is hosted locally to serve to the world. All content is published online, with editorial standards and production methods at the forefront of e-publishing.
