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.
