The event was attended by Muhammad Ali, Minister for Power and Petroleum, Momin Agha, Secretary of the Petroleum Division, and Jameel Qureshi, Secretary of SIFC.

Representatives from key consortium entities, including Syed Muhammad Taha, Managing Director of Pakistan State Oil (PSO), Major General Abdul Sami, Director General of Frontier Works Organization (FWO), and Nadeem Bajwa, Managing Director of Inter-State Gas Systems Pvt.

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).
