Minister of State for Energy

(Petroleum Division)

The White Oil Pipeline Mogas Project being built by Pak-Arab Pipeline Company Limited at a cost of US$134 million represents a truly important contribution to Pakistan’s energy infrastructure, considering that the safest mode Mogas Transportation to upcountry locations is badly needed today. Pipeline Transportation has almost no negative ecological impact that is why this project is being on the top of Ministry of Energy’s list of priorities. The conversion of White Oil Pipeline into Multi Product Carrier Pipeline System, is expected to provide most efficient, cost effective, convenient and environment friendly transportation of Motor Gasoline to cater for the future petroleum consumption in the country.

I wish to sincerely thank the project sponsors, namely PARCO, Shell, PSO and Total PARCO Marketing Limited for supporting the Ministry’s efforts at streamlining the country’s oil logistics by coming forward with men, material and money to successfully put this highly beneficial project in place.

The ground breaking of the White Oil Pipeline Mogas Project is a significant event in the downstream oil industry of Pakistan. While congratulating PAPCO, I sincerely pray that the company along with its Joint Venture Partners, the Project Team and the staff working on the Pipeline Project will bring it to a successful completion.
