Club History
The Petroleum Club of WA was established in 1966 by a group of
Explorers who believed there was a need to set up a facility that
provided the opportunity for networking and information
exchange.
The very first official Petroleum Club Dinner meeting was held
on Tuesday 10th January 1967 at the Ocean Beach
Hotel at a cost was $3.00 per person. How times have
changed!
Although the groundwork for the Club's establishment had been
conducted almost exclusively by explorers, it was agreed that the
Club membership should be expanded to include all persons who had
an interest in the Oil and Gas industry, rather than be limited to
geoscientists; and thus the evolution of an organisation.
