How many additional condensate cargoes is Inpex supplying to Australian refiners, and what is the size of each?

Inpex is supplying two additional cargoes of natural gas condensate to Australian refiners, each about 630,000 barrels (roughly 100 million liters).

Why is Inpex increasing condensate supply to Australia despite being a major fossil fuel exporter?

Australia relies heavily on imported refined fuels — over 80% of its refined fuel consumption was imported in 2025 — so Inpex is boosting domestic condensate supply to help alleviate fuel shortages by supporting local refining.
