Submission Requirements & Information

Key Dates

Please visit Call for Papers for the full listing of Key Dates.

Initial Abstract

A 250‑word abstract is required for submission which is used to determine the papers that will be selected for the conference technical and business program.
The title should be concise and appropriately informative and should contain all keywords necessary to facilitate retrieval by modern searching techniques. Avoid using abbreviations in titles where possible.
Abstracts may present information about equipment and tools but must show the definite applications and limitations of such equipment and should avoid commercialism and extensive use of trade names.
Abstracts must be exclusive to the Australian Energy Producers Conference, and not one that has been presented or will be presented at another conference or published in another journal prior to the Australian Energy Producers 2025 Conference. Previous presentations can serve as the basis of your paper; however all papers must incorporate new and original material.
There is no limit to the number of submissions per speaker or authorship group but multiple submissions of the same material from different companies will not be considered.
Proposals that are deemed to represent commercial advertising material (advertorials) will not be considered. To overcome this, we recommend publishing with an Operator as a co-author.
Confirmation of company and joint venture clearance must be obtained, or an outline of any concerns with the clearance of the final paper, together with a plan to obtain all approvals, must be provided.
Please refer to the Call for Papers Step by Step Submission Guide.

Australian Energy Producers has a ‘no paper, no presentation’ policy. During the submission process you are required to indicate your preferred publication type (see Paper Types).
Failure to submit a paper will result in the automatic removal of your presentation from the Conference Technical & Business Program.
Your abstract should clearly outline the scope and content of the proposed paper.
Shorthand and bullet point formats will not be accepted.

Themes and Topics

The Program for Australian Energy Producers Conference is multidisciplinary covering all areas of the upstream energy industry. The themes for the Technical and Business Program are chosen by the Technical Program Committee based on the number of submissions within a given theme.
