Profile

The APEA is a UK based organisation, drawing membership from all quarters of the petroleum industry, including regulators from national and local government authorities, oil companies, equipment manufacturers and suppliers, service and installation organisations, training establishments and many others. It is seen to be unique in representing all sides of the industry and in providing a forum for debate and the generation of technical guidance.

The APEA was founded in 1958. Some 30 petroleum-licensing enthusiasts started the Association in the West Midlands and their objectives still hold true today:

• The advancement of scientific and technical knowledge
• The supply and interchange of information
• Uniformity of standards interpretation and application

Today the organisation has over 1100 members spread across many countries all over the world. In the UK and Europe we encourage organisation of branches. Currently there are seven branches in the UK and one in Ireland.

Members receive a quarterly magazine, The Bulletin and also a Yearbook (desk diary) free of charge. Membership includes discounts on APEA training courses and the purchase of publications from the APEA website including the ‘Guidance for Design, Construction, Modification, Maintenance and Decommissioning of Filling Stations (Revised June 2018)’, technical advice and access to the industry network.
