Company Report

Lack of Price Volatility Detracts From International Trading Opportunities

Ampol owns and operates a major refined petroleum product import terminal at Kurnell in Sydney and a refinery at Lytton in Brisbane. Annual refining capacity fell by half to 6.0 billion liters, about one third of company marketed volumes, when Kurnell closed. Kurnell refinery was shut in 2014 because of operational issues and unfavorable demand for the product mix. Refineries and finished product import terminals are integrated with pipelines, distribution, and marketing. The national service station network exceeds 2,000, including 350 jointly branded Ampol/Woolworths (ASX:WOW) sites.

Company Profile

Ampol (nee Caltex) is the largest and only Australian-listed petroleum refiner and distributor, with operations in all states and territories. It was a major international brand of Chevron's until that 50% owner sold out in 2015. Caltex transitioned to Ampol branding due to Chevron terminating its licence to use the Caltex brand in Australia. Ampol has operated for more than 100 years. It owns and operates a refinery at Lytton in Brisbane, but closed Sydney's Kurnell refinery to focus on the more profitable distribution/retail segment. It successfully completed a NZD 2.0 billion bid for New Zealand peer Z Energy in first-half 2022.
