Australia's Refineries Can Only Meet Fraction of Fuel Demand -- Market Talk

2129 GMT - Australian refineries can only meet a fraction of domestic fuel demand, says Jefferies. The conflict in Iran is driving up prices of gasoline and diesel, with Australia's competition regulator concerned about supply issues in areas including city suburbs, regional towns and remote areas. Jefferies estimates Australia's refinery production can meet some 37% of gasoline demand and only around 14% of diesel demand. That's based on an analysis of Australian Petroleum Statistics data for last year. "Even in Queensland and Victoria, where Ampol and Viva Energy have refineries respectively, production at Lytton and Geelong is insufficient to meet total state demand for either gasoline or diesel," analyst Michael Simotas says.
