Ampol Limited SWOT and PESTLE Analysis

Strength

1. Strong relationships with mobility customers, embedded across both consumer and business channels: In the numerous markets that make up the Australian economy in the defence, mining, transportation, maritime, agricultural, aviation, and other commercial sectors, Ampol serves almost 80,000 clients with gasoline. It provides gasoline and convenience items to more than three million people each week across its retail network. Ampol’s strong supply chain and strategic infrastructure positions across the nation include 17 terminals, five major pipelines, 57 depots, 1,926 branded sites (including roughly 708 company-controlled retail sites), and one refinery in Lytton, Queensland, support the ability to serve wide customer base. More than 8,200 people from Australia and abroad support this network. Ampol has also expanded its supply chain and operations into foreign markets by utilizing their Australian business. This comprises trading and shipping operations, which are based in Houston, Texas, and Singapore, respectively, and their international storage facilities located across the Asia Pacific area. As the owner of Gull New Zealand, which runs the most extensive independent import facility in the nation and a retail network, it also has a growing presence. Ampol holds a 20% equity stake in Sea oil, one of the country's top independent petroleum suppliers.

Opportunity

1. Holds privileged existing industrial land and assets, which can be repurposed for manufacturing, storage and distribution of new energy solutions: Lower demand in 2020 due to COVID-19 limits impacted returns from assets, which refocused the attention on maximizing value, cost efficiency, and capital effectiveness within the infrastructure network. Due to the size of the supply position and the calibre of privileged infrastructure, Ampol holds the top spot in two of the most important demand centers in the nation, namely New South Wales and Queensland. Included are its sizeable properties at Lytton and Kurnell, which continue to be essential components of present activities and provide considerable future flexibility. The combination of existing assets and infrastructure, capabilities, and brand will be vital in supporting the transition and creating new customer value propositions aligned with their decarbonization goals.

Economic

1. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine may pressure gasoline prices: In reaction to the nation's invasion of Ukraine, Ampol and Viva Energy, two of Australia's top fuel suppliers, have decided not to accept fresh orders of Russian-origin oil. This decision may increase pressure on gasoline prices. Ampol criticised Russia's activities in Ukraine and acknowledged that since the start of the crisis, it has stopped buying Russian crude oil or other fuels. Russia is a significant global oil provider with up to 11% of worldwide crude oil output. Australia brought 1.5% of its total crude oil and other refinery feedstock from Russia in 2020–21. According to Ampol, pressure on the price of oil is being put on by geopolitical developments in Ukraine and the sanctions on Russia, which also affect Australian gasoline costs. It stated, "We will continue to focus on delivering products to our clients securely and dependably utilising the solid current supply networks we have in place.” Australian drivers are already paying unleaded at record high rates of almost $2 per litre in several regions of the nation, and experts now anticipate prices to surpass $2.10 shortly. The Singapore refined unleaded benchmark, often known as Mogas 95, connects Australia's gasoline pricing to world oil markets.
