The White Oil Pipeline Project, a vital component of Pakistan's energy infrastructure, has received a significant boost with the approval of its Machike-Thaliyan-Tarujabba section by the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). This green light paves the way for construction to begin on the 477-kilometer pipeline, which will run parallel to the country's motorway in two segments.

Led by the Frontier Works Organization, the project is a joint venture between Pakistan State Oil (PSO), Pakistan Refinery Limited (PARCO), and Interstate Gas Systems. 

The pipeline project is expected to significantly reduce the cost of transporting petroleum products, saving billions of rupees for the national treasury. It will also connect to refineries in Attock, Chakpirana, and Faqirabad.

With an initial capacity of 7 million tons per year, expandable to 10 million tons, the pipeline is designed to improve distribution efficiency, prevent adulteration, and enhance safety measures. 

Additionally, the project will help reduce reliance on road transport, minimizing environmental impact.

The accelerated completion of the White Oil Pipeline Project is a testament to the government's and SIFC's commitment to advancing the petroleum sector in Pakistan.
