Australia’s premier oil and gas and energy event has led by example. After its established history as the Australian Oil and Gas Conference (AOG), this year, the event returns as Energy Exchange Australia (EXA).
EXA has made its ambitions clear via the 2025 theme: ‘Transitioning Together’ and ‘Embracing our Energy Future’ Ideals that ATPI Australia holds closely.
Working alongside our customers across the local energy market, including traditional oil and gas and the significant mining sector, we utilise our expertise, technologies, and solutions to help champion a more sustainable path forward.
As the trusted travel partner to the region, we are always keeping ahead of the curve in sustainable strategy development and corporate travel and customer wellbeing. With mining making up a considerable proportion of the country’s energy supply, we are proud to collaborate with the sector’s leading minds for all logistic requirements – including how they approach ESG and implementing the latest technologies.
ESG
The principles surrounding ESG have helped to mould Australia’s mining industry, all the way from exploration to production. To support net zero ambitions, stakeholders within the industry are applying pressure to ensure that operators are considering sustainability-related actions. Additionally, future investment is likely to be greatly influenced by a company’s approach to sustainability and ESG, just as much as its finances.
Companies that are hesitant to embrace sustainability and ESG initiatives are at risk of future investment, performance incentives, and, above all else, their reputation. It’s therefore vital to consider risks in their internal ESG strategy that could affect the ability to raise investment, obtain work permits for new projects, protect their reputation, and influence how they collaborate with local communities and regulators.
Technology and Travel
Likewise, adopting technological investments in all aspects of a company’s operations will impact how it embraces the future of energy. Like many safety-critical industries, those in the oil and gas and mining sectors navigate significant obstacles and logistics – many of which are out of their control. Here, market-leading and cutting-edge technologies have a vital role to play in helping companies combat the barriers most common in corporate travel.
Utilising the latest technology helps to maintain the highest levels of efficiency, control, and workforce satisfaction. It is these technologies that can automate the often costly and time-consuming processes that are synonymous with Fly-In-Fly-Out (FIFO) travel arrangements and roster management. For example, online booking tools provide an instant improvement to efficiency by streamlining the approval process, eliminating manual errors, and saving valuable resource time.
ATPI
Technology and our belief in sustainability are core to our expertise. All the way through from exploration to planning, construction, and then refining, we provide complete assurance for all travel and workforce management needs.

Our job is to help alleviate pressure by assisting organisations with all their travel and ESG needs. Via our technologies, including the ATPI Traveller Tracking System, ATPI Analytics, and ATPI Halo, we integrate travel management and sustainability tools seamlessly into existing processes. Each solution can be tailored to meet the complex challenges faced by those operating across the mining and oil and gas spectrum.
As EXA kicks off this week, we look forward to connecting with delegates to provide a greater understanding of how we can all transition together.
