Viva refinery fire disrupts fuel production
Published 6 days, 6 hours ago
Description
A fire at the Viva oil refinery in Corio has reduced production capacity, with diesel and aviation fuel operating at 80% and petrol at 60%. No injuries occurred in the incident. The Australian government has secured additional fuel supplies totalling 100 million litres from Brunei and Korea, with BP joining commercial arrangements through Export Finance Australia. Indonesia has also agreed to supply over 20% of Australia's urea fertiliser needs in response to global supply pressures from the Middle East conflict.
