Viva Energy
Viva Energy () is an Australian company that owns the Geelong Oil Refinery and retails Shell-branded fuels across Australia. It provides fuel to the Coles Express retail network. Viva Energy supplies a network of over 1250 fuel outlets across Australia. In addition to the Geelong Refinery, it imports fuel supplied by Vitol through 22 import terminals. Viva Energy was created in 2014 when parent company Vitol acquired Shell's refining and distribution in Australia. Vitol retained 45% of Viva Energy when it was floated on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2018. In late 2020, Viva Energy agreed to  be part of an interim government program commencing on 1 January 2021 to prevent more oil refineries closing, by providing one cent per litre subsidy. At that time, Viva Energy's Geelong refinery was one of four operating in Australia, and all but two (Geelong and Ampol's Lytton Refinery near Brisbane) had been announced to be closing in 2021. To continue to receive the payment past July 2021, Viva Energy must agree to keep the refinery operating for much longer in support of national fuel security. It reported a $95.1 million loss in 2020. The refinery site is  proposed to be expanded to include a liquified natural gas import terminal. Viva Energy had a 35.5% stake in Viva Energy Real Estate Investment Trust (Viva Energy REIT, ) until 21 February 2020. Viva Energy REIT owns service station and convenience properties. Once it was sold, Viva Energy REIT changed its name to Waypoint REIT Limited in May 2020.
