Attock Petroleum Limited (Urdu pronunciation: [a.ˈʈʌk pə.ˈtroʊ.li.əm] ah-TUCK-puh-TROH-lee-uhm) is a Pakistani oil marketing company which is a subsidiary of the UK-domiciled company Attock Oil Company.[2] Based in Rawalpindi, it is the third largest oil marketing company in Pakistan.

History

[edit]

Attock Petroleum Limited was incorporated on 3 December 1995 as a public limited company and commenced commercial operations in 1998, one of only four oil-marketing companies to secure an Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority marketing licence that year.[3][4]

In 2005, Attock was listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange, following an initial public offering at a strike price of PKR 57.75.[5][6]

In 2012, Attock began regular supply of JP-8 and ground fuel to the Pakistan Air Force and Pakistan Army.[4]

In 2017, Attock and Pakistan State Oil commissioned a 10,000-tonne hydrant-fed "Fuel Farm" at the New Islamabad International Airport, the first aircraft-refuelling system in Pakistan.[7]

Operations

[edit]

Attock operates more than 700 filling stations from Gilgit-Baltistan in the north to coastal Balochistan in the south. It also provides CNG at selected stations. Previously, it also operated two filling stations in Jalalabad and exported white oils and naphtha under the Afghan Transit Trade Agreement.[8]

Products

[edit]

Attock markets its mainstream petrol under the Premier and Supreme labels and diesel under DieselMax.[3]
