In Australia’s dynamic energy sector, ADZ Energy is on a mission to responsibly power the future — and being on the ground is key to making that happen. As a growing start-up with exploration projects across the country, travel isn’t just a line item; it’s a strategic enabler. With the right partner, ADZ Energy believes they can unlock even more value from every trip.

About ADZ Energy

Industry: Oil and Gas (Exploration & Production)
Core Purpose: Responsible domestic energy production that supports the transition to a lower-carbon future
Team: 30 in Brisbane HQ + 26 field staff
Travel: Extensive regional and interstate (Surat, NT, SA, VIC, NSW)

Powering The Future, One Trip At A Time

ADZ Energy was founded to deliver values-led energy production across Australia. From engaging with communities and landowners to collaborating with stakeholders and regulators, their business depends on showing up in person — especially in regional and rural locations.

As they continue to grow, so does the volume and complexity of their travel. Field visits, stakeholder meetings, environmental testing, investor presentations — every trip plays a critical role in progressing projects and building trust.

The Challenge: Managing Travel With A Lean, Fast-Moving Team

With travel managed internally by their executive admin team, coordinating logistics is a constant challenge. From last-minute site changes to fluctuating regional airline availability, ADZ is often left navigating complex bookings with limited resources and time.

The biggest pain points:

Juggling shifting schedules and approvals
Coordinating rural travel with few reliable options
Tracking and managing spend in real-time
Lack of booking flexibility in fast-changing environments

However, with Flight Centre Business Travel there to take up the heavy lifting with these logistical necessities, ADZ can now re-direct resources to its core business.

The Opportunity: A Travel Partner That Understands Regional Business

As ADZ Energy scales, they’re looking ahead to a better way of managing travel — one that frees up their team to focus on growth, not admin.

They see real potential in partnering with Flight Centre Business Travel to:

Streamline rural and interstate travel logistics
Improve cost visibility and reporting
Respond quickly to changing travel plans
Receive proactive, personalised service from someone who “gets” regional business.

“We don’t see travel as a cost — it’s a growth strategy. With the right partner, we could spend less time on logistics and more time on the ground where it counts.”
