Invitation from the APPEA Chairman
The 2008 APPEA Conference and Exhibition in
Perth from 6 to 9 April offers the best program
yet and, on behalf of the APPEA Council, I extend
a warm welcome to you to attend.
The next two to three years will be a watershed for the energy industry
in Australia, with new policies impacting on all aspects of exploration,
production, delivery and energy use. Our conference program refects
the challenges and the opportunities that need to be grasped to ensure
success for the upstream petroleum industry.
Our theme for Perth is Energising Change, which captures the core
issues of this time, and the national and international speakers on the
program will address this dynamic theme.
They will be supported by a strong technical program that meets
the conferences high standards, featuring local and international
presenters on a wide range of commercial and technical topics.
One of the exciting features of the 2008 program will be a set of
strong poster presentations, an area APPEA has proudly developed
in recent years.
More than 220 booths will feature in the 2008 Exhibition, the largest
ever hosted by APPEA. The increased involvement from international
business demonstrates recognition from the global services sector of
the potential of the Australian oil and gas industry and APPEA is proud
to welcome our new exhibitors to the event.
We are delighted to have Macquarie Bank and BHP Billiton as the
principal conference sponsors for 2008. Their ongoing commitment to
APPEA and to the conference is very much appreciated, as is the vital
support of all our sponsors.
As always, the conference will feature an attractive social and partners
program, taking advantage of all that Perth and the surrounding region
has to offer. In addition, the programs networking opportunities are
widely recognised in the upstream petroleum industry.
Taken together, the 2008 Conference and Exhibition program represents
an opportunity not to be missed and I look forward to welcoming you to
Perth in April.

3.00pm5.00pm Closing session: Future energy challenges
Chair: Mr Peter Hood, Chief Executive Offcer, Coogee Resources Ltd
Energy panel: the changing domestic energy outlook
a post emissions trading context
This headline session for the conference will feature panelists from all major energy supply sectors
natural gas, nuclear, coal, renewables and noted industry specialists Professor Tony Owen, Professor
of Energy Economics at WAs Curtin University and recent head of the Owen Inquiry into Electricity Supply
in NSW, and Anna Matysek, Associate Principal at CRA International and a specialist in climate change
scenario design, energy technology pathways, and assessing the economic impacts of alternative energy
and climate policies.
The panel, professionally facilitated for 80 minutes by well-known journalist Michael Pascoe, will consider
Australias energy future in light of the post-emissions trading world Australia enters from 2010. What
role for individual energy supply sources? What does Australias energy future hold? How will a changing
energy mix impact on the Australian economy? How do we move to a post-emissions trading world at least
cost? How can we beneft from this new world? These and other key questions will be considered with the
panelists bringing their unique and expert opinions to the discussion.

9.30am4.30pm Piping Gold full-day tour
What do six million sheep and Australias richest goldfelds both rely on? The answer is a 560 km steel
pipeline that has delivered life-giving water for more than 100 years to Western Australias eastern
goldfelds. During the early gold rush, water was actually more valuable than gold. Visit the source of
supply, Mundaring Weir, in the picturesque Perth Hills to discover the pipelines fascinating history and
hear what it takes to keep it operational today. Walk across the weir wall to enjoy views of the dam and
forested surrounds and have a guided tour of an original steam pumping station. Then youll have a
Barbeque lunch (complete with a cold beer) at the local historic pub, before heading off for coffee and cake
