Acquisition of Products:
The automotive sector is the main consumer of Motor Gasoline (Mogas) and High Speed Diesel
(HSD) whereas Furnace Oil (FO) is marked for power plant usage.
To meet the supply deficit of the country, PSO imports Mogas, HSD, JP 1 and FO as and when
required. The total import of black and white oil in Pakistan last year was 12.4 million metric tons
and PSO had the lion’s share of this import with 11.2 million metric tons which came to over 90% of
the total fuel imports of the country. Other than product imports, PSO acquired 1.75 million metric
tons from various refineries based in Pakistan in order to cater to our market needs.
Storage
PSO possesses the largest storage capacity in the country. The company’s infrastructure stretches from Karachi to Gilgit. With 9 installations and 23 depots located across the country PSO’s storage capacity of approximately
a million metric tons represents 74% of the total storage capacity owned by all the oil marketing companies.
Product Movement
PSO uses three mechanisms for the movement of POL products namely, tank lorries (road), tank wagons (railways) and pipelines. We currently have a total fleet of 8,595 tank lorries out of which 2202 tank lorries are New Vision tank lorries which are complying with the latest ADR standards and are equipped with pilferage proof tracker systems. With the commencement of operations of the White Oil Pipeline Project (WOPP) from Karachi to Mehmood Kot via Shikarpur and the MFM (Mehmood Kot/Faisalabad/Machikey) pipeline, the supply pattern for white oil from Karachi has switched from tank lorries to pipelines.
