The Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association (APPEA) has appointed Woodside's CEO of Meg O’Neill as Chair, and Beach Energy's CEO Morné Engelbrecht as Vice-Chair following APPEA’s annual general meeting in Perth on Wednesday.

O’Neill was elected to the APPEA Board in 2019 and has served as Vice-Chair for the past year. She has held the position of Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Woodside Energy since 2021.

Engelbrecht was elected to the Board in 2021 and has held the position of Chief Executive Officer of Beach Energy since May this year.
