The Machike-Thallian-Tarujabba White Oil Pipeline (MTT-WOP) project underscores the dedication of the Petroleum Division and the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) towards enhancing energy infrastructure in Pakistan. This pipeline aims to complement the existing oil pipeline backbone from Karachi to Peshawar, facilitating efficient transportation of petroleum products, preventing adulteration, and enhancing safety measures.

Spanning 427 kilometers, the pipeline will connect Punjab from Machike, near Lahore, to Tarujabba, near Peshawar, with three segments: Machike-Chakpirana, Chakpirana to Rawat, and Rawat to Tarujabba. Spearheaded by FWO and supported by PSO and ISGS, the project is set to have an initial carrying capacity of 6 million metric tons per annum (MTPA).
