In 2014–15 the amount of refinery feedstocks (including imports) that went
into Australia’s refineries was 29.9 gigalitres. About 83 per cent of refinery
feedstocks are sourced from imports. Dependence on imports of crude oil
and other refinery feedstock has increased over the last three decades,
with increases in consumption and declining east coast production.
