Australian energy company with Shell branding and Geelong refinery
Australian Prime Minister Albanese is visiting Singapore to strengthen energy ties amid global fuel disruptions. The focus is on securing petrol and natural gas supplies as Middle East conflicts threaten supply chains. Discussions include increasing fuel imports and ensuring regional resilience.
A fire at Viva Energy's Geelong refinery has been brought under control after burning for over 13 hours. The incident impacts Australia's fuel supply, which is already strained due to global conflicts and declining domestic capacity. Authorities are working to assess damage and secure alternative supplies.
