Abstract:
The Australian Petroleum Exploration Association Limited (APEA) was incorporated in 1959 to 'protect and promote . . . the interests of persons engaged from time to time in the business of prospecting, drilling, refining, exploring and developing petroleum or other minerals'. In forming the Association, the founders had in mind the need to create a body whose prime function was to help Australia to self-sufficiency through the discovery of commercial oil and generally to promote and develop the interests of the Australian petroleum industry.
