Santos Limited Rushes Crude to Australian Refineries as Canberra Bolsters Fuel Security
Santos Ltd advanced crude deliveries to Viva Energy and sold a Varanus Island parcel to Ampol last week to support Australian refineries amid fuel import disruptions. Canberra announced plans to underwrite private fuel purchases as the country holds just 39 days of petrol and 30 days of diesel and jet fuel. Santos also shut Darwin LNG for equipment work, with no restart date given. Chevron and Woodside reported LNG outages after Cyclone Narelle.
