An Australian-owned, Queensland-based downstream petroleum business. We're building processing infrastructure for the long horizon — supporting sovereign fuel capability, regional resilience, and the future of Australia's resource economy.
Learn About Us What We DoAustralia imports roughly 90% of its liquid fuel requirements. With only two refineries remaining nationally, the case for domestic processing capability has rarely been stronger. Queensland Downstream is one part of the long-term response.
Building domestic petroleum processing capability that supports Australia's energy independence and reduces the nation's structural reliance on imported fuel.
An Australian-owned, Queensland-based business — committed to the long-term development of the state's downstream petroleum sector and its regional communities.
We build for decades, not for a single development cycle. Our work is designed to be an enduring contribution to Australia's resource economy and fuel security position.
Queensland Downstream operates at the intersection of Australia's upstream resource industry and its downstream fuel supply needs. We are building processing capability that strengthens domestic energy security — quietly, methodically, and with the discipline the sector demands.
Our work is in development. Detailed project, technical, and commercial information is shared with counterparties, capital partners, and government stakeholders under confidentiality.
