Pak-Arab Refinery (PARCO) is a fully integrated energy company of Pakistan. It engages in refining, transporting and marketing petroleum products.[1]

Company profile

PARCO, a Joint Venture between Government of Pakistan and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi was incorporated as a public limited company in 1974.[1] The Government of Pakistan holds 60% of the share holding while 40% of the shares are held by Emirate of Abu Dhabi.[3]

The major business activities include Crude Oil Refining and Transportation, Storage and Marketing of petroleum products.[1] With a refining capacity of 100,000 Barrels Per Day, combined storage capacity of over one million tons, a marketing joint venture with TOTAL (France) and a technical support venture with OMV (Austria); PARCO is the strategic fuel supplier for Pakistan.[3] The organization encompasses Pakistan’s second largest refinery (after Byco Petroleum Pakistan Ltd's ORC-2) and 2000 km of cross country pipeline network, including that of its subsidiary PAPCO. In 2010, the company set up a Diesel Hydro Desulfurization Unit to ensure that Diesel produced by the refinery meets international Euro-II standards. PARCO also commissioned a Biturox plant in 2012, which is expected to produce road paving bitumen. Pak-Arab Refinery Limited is a member of Oil Companies Advisory Council of Pakistan.[4]

On 12 April 2017, the company announced that it will use technologies from Honeywell to upgrade its refinery near Multan, Pakistan to produce cleaner-burning fuels.[5]
