The Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) in Pakistan has sought to recover $432 million in investment over a four-year period for a proposed 437km white oil pipeline from Faisalabad to Peshawar. This pipeline, backed by the federal government, would link Faisalabad, Thalian, and Tarujabba. The tariff for transporting petroleum products from Faisalabad to Thalian, near Rawalpindi, and then to Tarujabba, near Peshawar, is projected to be around $64 per tonne in the first year, with a gradual decline to $14.5 per tonne by 2058.
The tariff petition, approved by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra), is part of a larger strategic investment plan to meet increasing petroleum demand in northern regions and reduce reliance on road tankers.
