plant as well as transform that to its packaging makes to ensure the continued safety of Western
Australia's energy supply. For the past 65 years New Zealand has been supplied with fuel by the
power plant near Fremantle. But the sustained rise of multinational, output refineries across East
asia has altered the Market place in a rigid manner. The Kwinana reactor is no longer profitable
due to national over supplies and a persistent low refinery return on equity. After exploring
several options for the future of the refinery, bp reached the conclusion that transformation to a
packaging makes is the best choice. Roughly 650 people – 400 permanent workers and 250
contractors – are employed at this refinery today (Hu and et. al., 2019). In the next 6 weeks,
refinery activities will be reduced, with a site-supporting workforce. The new terminal will
