LNG trains ramping up production, growing global energy demand, domestic gas tightness, persistently high input costs and lagging

productivity — the opportunities and challenges facing the oil and gas industry have never been so diverse.

In the year since the industry gathered in Perth we have remained firmly in the national spotlight. In the intense gaze of the nation’s attention we have managed reputations and businesses, started projects, conducted maintenance and even met three times with the Prime Minister to alleviate the legitimate concerns of our most important stakeholders —the Australian people.

As an industry we can be proud of how we have navigated the uncertainty and leveraged the opportunity set before us — all while managing sustained opposition from our critics and continuing to make a substantial contribution to the Australian economy.

This year’s APPEA Conference and Exhibition will provide yet another opportunity for our industry to meet and discuss the issues that are most important to our businesses. APPEA 2018 will bring together oil and gas professionals, industry leaders, analysts and policymakers from across Australia and around the world.

The three-day conference program that includes international experts and Australian business leaders providing up-to-date analysis, case studies and technical know-how on the big issues facing our industry. Politicians, executives and analysts will discuss the policy concerns confronting us.

For the first time in six years APPEA returns to Adelaide. The Adelaide Convention Centre has been upgraded and expanded and is connected with the Torrens River — in the heart of the redeveloped Riverbank precinct.

The plenary and concurrent will cover issues such as:

• the place of oil and gas in domestic and global energy supplies

• the industry’s role in a low-emissions future

• how the industry has embraced diversity and inclusion as a core value and as a way to enhance innovation, flexibility and competitiveness

• the use of technology to improve safety, enhance environmental management and increase productivity and competitiveness

• how changes in the energy market are challenging traditional business models and testing resilience across the entire supply chain.

The concurrent sessions will cover topics ranging from global and national developments in energy and climate policies; unconventional gas; LNG; project development; updates from regulators; tax, fiscal and commercial issues; prospectivity of frontier basins; and other scientific and technological reports.

There will also be a strong emphasis on diversity and inclusiveness, community and stakeholder engagement, as well as skills, environmental, safety and operational issues. While the exhibition area will include a tailored collaboration centre and individual meeting zones to promote business discussion.

As an industry this event provides a unique opportunity to learn from each other and improve how we do business. Together we can improve the competitiveness of our companies and strive to improve the value we offer to the resource holder.

We thank our principal sponsors — Woodside and Clough — for their continued support. The backing of our other sponsors is both appreciated and is essential to the success of this event.

I look forward to seeing you at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

INV I TAT ION FROM THE

APPEA CHAIR ZOE YUJNOVICH

INV I TAT ION FROM THE PREMIER OF

SOUTH AUSTRAL IA JAY WETHER I L L

It is a pleasure to welcome to Adelaide delegates for the 2018 Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association Conference and

Exhibition. Since the APPEA conference was previously held here in 2012, the Adelaide Convention Centre has been modernised and expanded into Australia’s most flexible and technologically advanced convention and exhibition venue.

The conference dinner will be held at the redeveloped Adelaide Oval, a South Australian icon that has undergone a massive transformation into a world-class stadium at the centre of the vibrant Riverbank precinct.

Adelaide is consistently rated as one of the world’s most liveable cities and recognised internationally for its arts, festivals, fine foods and wine. It has an advanced economy, world-class universities and a flourishing multicultural heritage. South Australia has also built an international reputation as an innovative and competitive investment destination for environmentally-sustainable minerals and energy resource development.

In the past 63 years, the Cooper and Eromanga basins have been the focus of petroleum exploration and production in this state. For decades, producers have delivered both oil for export and natural gas to reliably fuel power generation, manufacturing and domestic uses to Australia’s east coast market. Exploration is picking up in the Otway Basin and significant exploration is planned for the Great Australian Bight in the years ahead. The South Australian Government continues to fully support your industry’s investments and contribution to fully realising the full potential of this state’s energy resource endowment.

The South Australian and national energy markets are being substantially transformed as we adapt to our low-carbon future. As part of the government’s medium-term measures to increase energy market competition, drive down costs for businesses and consumers and reduce carbon emissions, I announced Our Energy Plan. The plan increases our energy self-reliance by sourcing and controlling more of our power here in South Australia.

The upstream petroleum sector is an important component of Our Energy Plan. The plan includes building our own fast-start aero-derivative 250MW gas power plant to have more stand-by power; providing $48 million through the Plan to Accelerate Exploration (PACE) Gas grants; and an innovative approach to land access through the Royalty Return program.

PACE Gas is encouraging companies to bring forward investment in projects that can increase supplies of locally-sourced gas into the market, boosting competition and placing downward pressure on prices by combating a projected shortfall in national gas supplies.

The Royalty Return program shares 10% of the state’s royalty take with freehold landowners and perpetual leaseholders, who have a new producing oil or gas field underlying their property. Importantly, new or existing compensation arrangements relating to access, disruption or impacts between landowners and resource companies continue unchanged.

The South Australian Government is also leading collaboratively engagement between the petroleum sector and a wide variety of stakeholders through the Roundtable for Oil and Gas, which continues to grow in numbers since its inception in 2012.

During the conference, some of you will visit Australia’s first innovation precinct at Tonsley, home of the award-winning South Australian Drill Core Reference Library and the Onshore Petroleum Centre of Excellence. The centre within the old Mitsubishi assembly plant provides an opportunity to train field operations in the oil and gas industry using realistic simulation of upstream oil and gas equipment and operations.

We are making Adelaide recognised internationally as one of the world’s greatest cities by investing in a modern, vibrant city where more people want to live, learn, work, do business, visit and raise a family. I hope you will be able to take some time during your conference to enjoy the city’s excellent restaurants, bars and vibrant laneways. Adelaide is easy to get around and many of our award-winning wineries and seaside venues are only a short journey from our CBD. I hope you have a productive and successful APPEA Conference and Exhibition and enjoy your time in Adelaide.

Energy transformation — the future is now The global energy system is in a period of unprecedented transformation. This transformation is driven by the falling cost of cleaner energy sources, the rise of new and growing sources of demand on Australia’s doorstep in Asia, and the growth (and resilience) of the US shale industry. 80% of the projected growth in gas demand takes place in developing economies, led by China, India and other countries in Asia. This growth reflects the versatility and flexibility of gas as an energy source and its cleaner burning properties, vital as energy-related greenhouse gas emissions must fall and developing countries must address widespread concerns over air quality. How does the industry succeed as this transformation occurs, meeting the needs of our own markets in Australia and also the growing energy needs in our region? What role will innovation and technology play in improving industry’s adaptability and resilience? What is the role for government policy, both in Australia and around the world? And how does the industry respond? How does it see the future and what is it doing to succeed? Speakers will provide perspectives, drawing on their extensive industry experience, to provide a headline session concluding with a truly international panel discussion.

Further details of our keynote speakers will be released in early February.

Technology and innovation—the keys to a resilient businessOur plenary opens with the Federal Opposition Address, leading into a crucial session examining technology and innovation. Technological breakthroughs and continued innovation have for decades been key to the growth and success of the oil and gas industry. The use of technology has improved the safety of those working in the industry, enhanced the industry’s environmental stewardship and increased its productivity and competitiveness. This process is relentless and the industry must continue to innovate if it is to find a place in the new energy market. Featuring—in an APPEA first—live demonstrations of technology-based innovations and cutting-edge applications, this session will bring together industry experts to consider in a ‘hands on’ way, the industry’s use of technology to enable it to thrive in the future, combined with a crystal ball of what is the shape of things to come.

A resilient supply chain—what does success look like in the new energy market?The new energy market is challenging traditional business models and resilience across the entire supply chain is vital to the future of the industry. But with new challenges come new opportunities. With industry growth over the last decade, its enduring benefit to the Australian economy and ongoing investment in Australian industry, opportunities for suppliers and contractors, both large and small, existing and new, remain.

In this session, hear from major producers and contractors, small businesses and start-ups as they discuss how to secure business in the new energy market, how to build enduring relationships and consider what each part of the supply chain is looking for in the other. What lessons can be learned? What does success look like? These and many other questions will be answered in a lively and topical discussion as APPEA seeks to demystify how to secure business in 2018 and beyond.

This session will conclude with APPEA’s CEO Closing Address.

PRICING Notes



Registration All registration fees must be paid in full prior to the event or by 5.00pm AEST Friday, 11 May 2018 to guarantee and confirm registration. Once payment has been received, an email confirmation and receipt will be provided. If payment is not made at the time a registration is lodged then registration will be deemed provisional and APPEA reserves the right to deal with such registrations in its absolute discretion.

APPEA reserves the right to levy an administration fee for any notice of cancellations by attendees or delegates received in writing. For cancellations received in writing by 5.00pm AEST Wednesday, 2 May 2018, a full refund (less $475.00 for full registrations, $235.00 for day registrations and $75.00 for exhibition staff registrations to cover administration costs) will be made.

No refunds will be issued for cancellations received after this date. In addition, full cancellation fees will apply for social functions cancelled 5.00pm AEST Wednesday 2 May 2018. Should you be unable to attend the event, then a substitute delegate or attendee is welcome at no extra charge on the condition that the conference administrators Sane Event Group are notified in writing by 5.00pm AEST Wednesday 9 May 2018. Any request for name changes after this date will incur an administration fee of $55.00. All changes and cancellations must be made in writing (email to [email protected]). No changes or cancellations will be accepted verbally or by fax.

Please note: If a registration is submitted and is unpaid, no cancellation notice is received and the delegate does not attend the event, this will still be considered an active registration and payment will be requested in full by the conference administrators.

In the event of a lost name badge onsite, a replacement fee will apply.
