Ampol Reports Lytton Refinery Margins More Than Doubled in Q3

Key Facts

Australia's Ampol reported that its Lytton refining margin for the third quarter more than doubled. Reuters reported that the figure indicates a significant recovery in refining profitability for the specific asset during the Q3 period.

This operational improvement for Ampol comes as regional economic indicators showed weakness, with Australia's NAB Business Confidence hitting -13 on October 13, 2026. The company's performance update follows the release of the OPEC Monthly Report on the same date, amid a broader focus on refining margins within the energy sector.
