IOR

What IOR does

IOR Pty Ltd is an Australian vertically integrated commercial fuel supplier headquartered in Cannon Hill, Queensland, founded in 1984 in Eromanga to refine locally produced crude oil. Over four decades the company has built and now operates the full fuel value chain: the Eromanga Refinery (producing specialty fuels including Enersol® petroleum solvents and Eromanga UMF low-particulate diesel for underground mining); two import and storage terminals at Lytton (Queensland) and Port Bonython (South Australia); a national transport fleet spanning rigid tankers through B-doubles and road trains; a 115+ site unmanned IOR Diesel Network and 30+ site IOR Aviation Network; and an Equipment & Infrastructure business selling and renting self-bunded fuel storage tanks and modular fuel farms. Supporting the physical infrastructure are three digital platforms: the proprietary HyDip® Fuel Management System providing real-time tank telemetry and transaction visibility, the Fuelcharge consumer mobile app enabling account-free pay-at-pump access, and the IOR Customer Portal for consolidated multi-site account management.

The company serves enterprise customers across transport and logistics, mining and resources, agriculture and harvest, livestock, construction and civil, government and defence, oil and gas, and commercial and general aviation. Named enterprise customers include K.S. Easter Transport, Incitec Pivot, Alliance Airlines, MPC Kinetic, and Sydney Helicopters Group. Revenue is generated through multiple streams: transaction-fee fuel sales (diesel, Jet A-1, Avgas, AvPULP™), bulk delivery services, hardware sales and rental of fuel storage tanks, managed vendor-managed fuel supply services (often bundled with HyDip®), wholesale Terminal Gate Sales at Lytton and Port Bonython, and the HyBlue™ AdBlue® and lubricants product lines. Pricing is primarily quote-based for commercial accounts and volume-tiered for business accounts, with daily published Terminal Gate Pricing for wholesale customers and a freemium pay-as-you-go model for Fuelcharge app users. Certification breadth — JIG (aviation), ISO 9001 (Port Bonython operations), VDA/ISO 22241 (AdBlue®), AS1692/AS1940 (tanks), NHVAS (fleet), and ADG compliance — supports operations across regulated fuel segments.

In April 2025 Stonepeak, an infrastructure investment firm, agreed to acquire a 75% interest in IOR for approximately USD 750 million (implying roughly USD 1 billion enterprise value), with the deal expected to close in the second half of 2025. The company has since secured the South Australian government's A$40 million strategic diesel reserve at Port Bonython, a A$25 million Queensland government-backed biodiesel production project at Eromanga, and integration into Export Finance Australia's national fuel security program. IOR continues to operate as a private company under CEO Drew Morland, with Stonepeak as majority owner.
