Description

Ampol Limited is an ASX-listed Australian energy company and the nation’s largest transport fuels supplier, headquartered in Sydney. The company traces its origins to 1900 as the Australian operations of the Texas Company (later Texaco), was renamed Caltex Australia in 1995 following the Chevron–Texaco merger structure, and became Ampol in 2020 — reviving the historic Australian Motorists Petrol Company name from the 1930s — after Chevron sold its 50% stake in 2015 and the companies parted ways on branding.

Ampol’s operations span the fuels value chain. Its Lytton refinery in Brisbane, Queensland — one of only two operating refineries remaining in Australia — has a crude processing capacity of approximately 109,000 barrels per day and produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and LPG. The company is Australia’s largest fuel importer, sourcing refined products through its Singapore trading operations, and operates an extensive distribution network of pipelines, terminals, and depots nationwide.

Downstream, Ampol supplies and operates a network of roughly 2,000 branded retail and commercial sites across Australia, including Ampol-branded service stations, AmpolFoodary convenience stores, and the EG Ampol co-branded network. The company holds leading market positions in premium fuels, lubricants, and convenience retail, and supplies jet fuel to major Australian airports.

Strategically, Ampol is diversifying into future energy: it has launched the AmpCharge EV charging network, is trialling hydrogen refuelling, and has announced plans for renewable fuels production — including a proposed sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel facility at Lytton — as part of its commitment to decarbonising transport energy supply.
