COMPANY OVERVIEW
(1-1)
MARKET SHARE
MARKET SHARE in Black oil : 82.1% MARKET SHARE in white oil : 61.2%
The company’s astounding growth in terms of sales and turnover, combined with its status of being the
First Pakistani Public Sector Company to become a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF)
Winning the “Karachi Stock Exchange Top Companies Award” has made PSO a notable
company world over.
PSO has the widest strategic oil distribution network. This network comprises of 29 storage depots and
9 installations, 860,000 MTs of capacity i.e. almost 81% of total national storage, numerous
pipe lines network and equity partnership in White Oil Pipeline Project (WOPP) from Karachi to Mehmood
Kot.
A most efficient product movement system for its POL products facilitates the operations at PSO. This
system includes a fleet of 6000 tank lorries, tank wagons and pipelines. With the inception of white oil
pipeline (WOPP) the pattern of supplies from Karachi has changed drastically as the entire white oil
movement from Karachi has been switched over from tank lorries to pipelines.
Moreover, to make this system more efficient and effective, new pilfer-proof tank lorries equipped with
satellite tracking system have been introduced.
PSO has the largest network in the country. Out of these, 1,610 outlets have been upgraded as per
the New Vision Retail Program, with most modern facilities like
electronic dispensing units, convenience stores, business centers, Easy Payment Centers and customer
friendly staff to provide unmatched and diverse services to its customers, all of which are comparable to
international practices.
The fact that PSO serves 2.8 million retail customers on daily basis, along with 2000 industrial units and
business houses, is indicative of its vast customer base. The company has also been meeting the fuel
needs of various government entities, armed forces, railways, agriculture sector, IPPs and industrial
units.
PSO also provides Jet Fuel to Refueling Facilities at 9 airports in Pakistan and ship fuel at 3 ports.
In July 2002, ‘PSO Loyalty Cards’ were introduced to reward the retail customers for their loyalty and
patronage towards the company. In February 2003 PSO launched its ‘Fleet Cards’ and ‘Corporate

(1-2) HISTORY
The creation of Pakistan State Oil (PSO) can be traced back to the year 1974, when on January 1st; the
government took over and merged Pakistan National Oil (PNO) and Dawood Petroleum Limited (DPL) as
Premiere Oil Company Limited (POCL).
Soon after that, on 3rd June 1974, Petroleum Storage Development Corporation (PSDC) came into
existence. PSDC was then renamed as State Oil Company Limited (SOCL) on August 23rd 1976.
Following that, the ESSO undertakings were purchased on 15th September 1976 and control was vested
in SOCL.
The end of that year (30th December 1976) saw the merger of the Premier Oil Company Limited and
State Oil Company Limited, giving way to Pakistan state Oil (PSO).

After PSO’s inception, the corporate culture underwent a comprehensive renewal program which was
fully implemented in 2004. This program over the years included the revamping of the organizational
architecture, rationalization of staff, employee empowerment and transparency in decision making
through cross functional teams.
This new corporate renewal program has divided the company’s major operations into independent
activities supported by legal, financial, informative and other services. In order to reinforce and monitor
this structural change, related check and balances have been established by incorporating monitoring
and control systems.
Human Resource Development became one of the main priorities on the company’s agenda under this
corporate reform.
It is due to this effective implementation of corporate reform and consistent application of the best
industrial practices and business development strategies, that PSO has been able to maintain its market
leadership in a highly competitive business environment.

certification for its six terminals while the balance storage would be made ISO compliant in the next
couple of years.
The modes used for product movement of POL products by PSO include tank Lorries, tank wagons and
pipeline. We have a fleet of around 6,000 tank Lorries. Around 1200 tank Lorries, equipped with tracking
and pilfer proof system, have been upgraded as per international standards which are engaged in
delivering quality fuels across the country.
With the inception of white oil pipeline (WOPP) from Karachi to Mehmood Kot via Shikarpur & MFM
(Mehmood Kot / Faisalabad / Machikey) pipeline, the pattern of supplies from Karachi have been
drastically changed as the entire white oil movement from Karachi has been switched over from tank
lorries to pipeline.
To cater to the local lubricants requirements Free Lube Delivery Vans have been introduced.
