Introduction:
Attock Refinery Limited (ARL) was incorporated as a Private Limited Company in November, 1978 to take over the business of the Attock Oil Company Limited (AOC) relating to refining of crude oil and supplying of refined petroleum products. It was subsequently converted into a Public Limited Company in June, 1979 and is listed on the three Stock Exchanges of the country. The Company is also registered with Central Depository Company of Pakistan Limited (CDC).
Original paid-up capital of the Company was Rs 80 million which was subscribed by the holding company i.e. AOC, Government of Pakistan, investment companies and general public. The present paid-up capital of the Company is Rs 852.93 million.
ARL is the pioneer of crude oil refining in the country with its operations dating back to 1922. Backed by a rich experience of more than 90 years of successful operations, ARL’s plants have been gradually upgraded / replaced with state-of-the-art hardware to remain competitive and meet new challenges and requirements.
There were subsequent discoveries of oil. ARL’s current Expansion or Up-gradation Projects comprises of Preflash unit, Naphtha Isomerization unit, Diesel Hydro Desulphurization (DHDS) unit and expansion of existing Captive Power Plant. This would increase refinery capacity by 10,400 bpd, motor gasoline production would increase by 20,000 Tons per month and would enable ARL to produce Euro II compliant low sulphur diesel. These Projects are expected to be completed by September 2015. The Company is ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 17025, OHSAS 18001 certified and is the first refinery in Pakistan to declare implementation of ISO 50001 (Energy Management System).

    Pignatelli should first and foremost properly assess the ethical dilemma he faces. The problem before him comes down to the decision between two outcomes both with their share of benefits and risks. He can follow guidelines by waiting several months to receive a response from the Italian government while losing millions of dollars and risking his reputation and fate of his company if the government decides to not allow Gulf Italia to refine at full capacity. On the other hand he can attempt to pay someone off either directly or indirectly, a potential illegal activity, and more quickly have his company produce at full capacity, preserving his reputation without losing money and securing the jobs of his many workers.…

    Since reporting its latest results on January 29 this year, shares of Phillips 66 have rallied 7%. In fact, its shares are up approximately 5% since year-to-date, due to persistent low oil price that kept improving refining margins for midstream & downstream companies.

The table below illustrates the crack spreads in the United States and other regions. These data were published in a weekly refining report by Scotia…
