Best Extended Abstract Award Recipients

In recognition of the amount of time required to write and publish a technical journal article (peer-reviewed paper) to be presented at the annual Conference and published in The APPEA Journal*, the Technical Program Committee in 2008, introduced the concept of an Extended Abstract. An extended abstract is a short research paper whose ideas and significance can be understood in less than an hour. This award is given to the Extended Abstract judged the best by the Technical Program Committee and which is now published in Supplement 1 of The APPEA Journal*.

*The APPEA Journal will be known as The Australian Energy Producers Journal from volume 64, 2024.
