ASX:VEA

Viva Energy Group Ltd stands as a formidable presence in the Australian energy landscape, with roots extending deep into the country's petroleum sector. Born from the acquisition of Shell's Australian downstream operations, the company has established itself as a leading energy provider underpinned by a robust infrastructure network and a well-distributed array of retail service stations. Viva Energy operates the iconic Geelong Refinery, a pivotal asset that processes crude oil into a suite of essential petroleum products, from petrol and diesel to jet fuel and bitumen. This refinery not only fulfills a substantial portion of domestic fuel needs but also serves as a linchpin in their integrated supply chain, ensuring that Viva remains a key player in Australia's energy supply equation. Central to Viva Energy's business model is its extensive retail footprint, which includes a partnership with Coles Express. This collaboration helps to cement its retail presence through co-branded service stations, providing fuel and convenience goods to millions of customers annually. By strategically aligning with one of Australia's largest supermarkets, Viva amplifies its reach and consumer engagement. Additionally, its corporate and commercial fuel sales generate significant revenue through agreements with aviation, marine, transport, and mining sectors, ensuring diversified income streams. Viva Energy’s emphasis on efficiency and innovation in supply chain management and refining processes further fortifies its market position, continuously adapting to the evolving energy demands and sustainability challenges of the modern era.
