What Nqpetro does

Nqpetro Pty. Ltd. is an Australian specialist contractor and equipment distributor focused on the design, construction, installation, and maintenance of fuel storage, handling, and dispensing infrastructure. Operating from five offices (Cairns HQ, Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney) and serving both Australia and Papua New Guinea, the company delivers end-to-end project management for retail service stations, mining and resource sites, aviation refuelling, transport and logistics depots, agricultural operations, and government facilities. Customer logos disclosed in case studies include 7-Eleven, Shell/Viva Energy, Coles Express, Puma Energy, Eagle Petroleum, Cruise Whitsundays, and Pioneer North Queensland, often delivered as a subcontractor to head contractors such as Hutchinson Builders, Meinhardt, and Evansbuilt.

The company's core technology stack spans underground and above-ground self-bunded fuel tanks (capacities 1,000L to 110,000L, including the F.E.S Grande 30 and HEDRA generator supply lines), fuel transfer pumps, flow meters, nozzles, hazardous area electrical systems, automatic tank gauging (Veeder-Root TLS450 Plus), payment systems (Gilbarco, OPT), and the SmartFill Gen 3 cloud-based fuel management system with 4G connectivity, RFID, and SmartTag vehicle identification. Nqpetro holds the exclusive Australian accreditation for the FitSafe tank access system, which enables safe retrofitting of underground tanks without full replacement, and operates a purpose-built SLP certification testing facility. A 24/7 emergency call-out service (1800 451 770) supports installed assets nationwide.

The revenue model combines project-based professional services (multi-month design-and-construct contracts for major fuel retailers and mines), recurring maintenance and compliance contracts (preventative, reactive, and SLP certification), hardware sales through an e-commerce shop (unit-priced items from ~$60 to $3,282+ AUD plus quote-based tank and SmartFill systems), and equipment distribution for third-party brands (Piusi, Alemlube, Fill-Rite, Gilbarco). Pricing is mostly quote-based for commercial projects and unit-based for the online shop; multi-year contracts apply to larger tank and maintenance engagements.
