APPEA 2025 Conference and Exhibition

Australian Energy Producers has roughly 200 members, comprising oil and gas explorers and producers active in Australia and companies providing goods and services to those explorers and producers.

Our member companies produce around 95 per cent of Australia’s oil and gas.

The oil and gas sector plays a fundamental role in our nation’s economy, providing essential energy to power businesses and homes in Australia and across the world. Our sector invests billions of dollars to generate reliable, secure and cleaner energy, creating jobs and economic growth for the communities in which we operate.

Australian Energy Producers supports net zero across the economy by 2050, consistent with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the commitment of the Commonwealth Government.

Australian natural gas is pivotal to the energy system transformation in Australia and the region, providing the firm dispatchable energy required to unlock our renewable energy potential, and powering Australian industries including those processing the critical minerals necessary for net zero.
