About Us
The Australian oil and gas industry is playing key role in delivering energy security and emissions reductions across Australia and the region. Natural gas meets more than a quarter of Australia's energy needs and is our third largest export.
The oil and gas industry is enabling the transformation of energy systems in Australia and abroad, delivering reliable natural gas supply for power generation, manufacturing and homes, while leading the development of net-zero technologies and fuels including carbon capture, utilisation and storage and low-emissions hydrogen. The industry supports more than 215,000 Australian jobs and contributes more than $100 billion a year to the Australian economy.
Australian Energy Producers is the peak body of the explorers, developers, and producers of essential energy — oil, gas, and lower-emission fuels.
Representing more than 95 per cent of oil and gas production in Australia, Australian Energy Producers works collaboratively with Australian governments, industry and other stakeholders to secure the industry's long-term contribution to Australia's economy, energy security and emissions reductions.
Australian Energy Producers has proudly advocated for the oil and gas industry since 1959, highlighting the immense contribution of the sector to Australia's economic and energy security.
