Viva Energy

Viva Energy stands as a critical infrastructure player in Australia’s energy sector, operating at the intersection of traditional fuel supply and the emerging low-carbon economy. The company’s core business revolves around the importation, storage, distribution, and retail of liquid fuels, with a dominant position in the downstream petroleum market through its ownership of the Geelong Refinery (now transitioned to a fuel import terminal) and the Shell-branded retail network (via its 50% ownership of Viva Energy REIT and exclusive license with Shell).

Market Position & Assets

• Supply Chain Control: Owns and operates key infrastructure, including the Geelong Fuel Import Terminal (replacing the former refinery), which enhances fuel security for Victoria and South Australia.
• Retail Footprint: Through its partnership with Shell, Viva Energy supplies over 1,300 Shell-branded service stations across Australia, maintaining a strong B2C and B2B presence.
• Commercial & Industrial: Supplies aviation fuel (via Viva Energy Aviation), marine fuels, and bulk fuels to industries, mining, and transport sectors.

Strategic Pivot: Energy Transition

Viva Energy is actively diversifying its portfolio to align with Australia’s decarbonization goals:

• Renewable Energy: Developing a solar farm and exploring green hydrogen projects, signaling a shift toward low-carbon alternatives.
• Gas Terminal: Investing in a new gas import terminal to address domestic gas supply gaps and support energy reliability.
• Storage & Security: Expanding strategic fuel storage to mitigate supply chain risks and enhance national energy resilience.
