July 7, 2005 from Government of Pakistan. The investment of the Pharaon Group in Pakistan have
over the past decade achieved phenomenal expansion as a result of which it has not only become
the largest stakeholder in the oil and gas sector of the country, but has in fact become one of the
largest business groups within the country.
The group emerged as a conglomerate with the following component Companies:
1. Pakistan Oilfields Limited

2. Attock Petroleum Limited
3. Attock Refinery Limited
4. Attock Cement Pakistan Limited
5. National Refinery Limited
6. And other Companies not listed on stock exchange(s)
Like all other listed companies, National Refinery Limited is governed by its Memorandum and
Articles of Association, Code of Corporate Governance and the Companies Ordinance 1984.
The Board of Directors of the Company has a Chairman and the Company is run under
management of the Chief Executive Officer & Deputy Chairman, aided by Deputy Managing
Director and an Executive Committee. All functional heads report to the Chief Executive Officer –
an Organization Chart has been put on display separately.
High Speed Diesel (HSD) Desulphurization

In order to produce clean High Speed Diesel Euro II with 500 parts per million sulfur.
Universal Oil Product (UOP) has completed the Engineering Design & Specification (EDS)
project in September 2008. The Government has advised time line for clean diesel
production by January 2012. However, the implementation of this project shall be subject
to necessary incentives being negotiated with the Government justifying its economic
feasibility and profitability of the company from the Fuel Section. NRL has awarded
contract to M/s Zeeshan Engineering as Project Management Consultant.

Debottlenecking study for increase in capacity and yields of distillates from
vacuum tower
It is planned to replace the existing cylindrical vacuum heater installed at Vacuum

Section of Two Stage Distillate unit at Lube Refinery. The capacity of new heater is
envisaged for enhanced throughput, which will be based on maximum potential of
vacuum column and associated equipments. Feasibility study of the project has been
completed to initiate modifications in vacuum column based on simulations.
Product Metering System
Company has decided to implement Product Metering System at refinery

and Keamari terminal for transfer of product to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs). This will
bring more efficiency in operations. Commissioning target of flow meters is August 2009.
Initially project will handle HSD pumping to OMCs.
Radar Gauging System
The project is required for custody transfer of products to storage tanks to calculate the
accurate gauging. In Phase-I, Radar gauges of 41 numbers have been installed and in
Phase-II additional 64 gauges will be installed by December 2009. It will cover all 105 tanks
needed in custody transfer.
Storage Tanks
The Company has decided to construct additional tanks for crude as well as product
storage. The new tanks will increase the operational flexibility and storage capacity to
meet strategic market demand. Contract for fabrication and installation of storage tanks
has been awarded and work is in progress, which will be completed by December 2009.
New Water reservoir and Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant-III
The refinery facing water shortage and therefore, it has been decided to undertake
following projects:

i. Construction of additional water reservoir of 3.0 million gallons capacity
to run the refineryat the optimum capacity.
ii. One more Reverse Osmosis Plant of 200,000 Imperial Gallon Per Day
(IGPD) would be added to existing plants. Boring of Brackish water wells is in
progress to establish feed specifications for Reverse Osmosis Plant.
The company has a strong information technology capability. Computerized

instrumentation and auto-tank gauging are being applied. The technical staff use a variety
of computer software for process design, performance monitoring, simulation and
engineering design.
NRL had implemented an Enterprise Resource planning (ERP) solution, SAP (version 4.6C)
in the year 2004 with following modules :
 Finance and controlling (FICO)
 Material Management (MM)
 Sales & Distribution (SD)
 Plant Maintenance (PM)
 Human Resource (HR)
It is further planned to upgrade SAP release from 4.6C to ECC6.
The lube base oil (LBO), asphalt, BTX and specialty oils segment of NRL’s business is
deregulated and operates in a free market environment.
The Government is committed to gradual deregulation of the petroleum fuel-refining
sector. As a first step, it deregulated furnace oil and LPG by allowing refineries to fix prices
on a competitive basis. Thereafter with effect from 1st July 2001, the petroleum industry
was allowed to workout prices of fuel products through the Oil Companies’ Advisory

Committee (OCAC) on a fortnightly basis by using a transparent pricing mechanism
approved by the Government. The Government deregulated import of high-speed diesel
(HSD) and therefore with effect from 1st September 2002 allowed OMCsto fix the final sale
price on cost competitive basis. Pricing of Regulated Fuel Products was handed over to
OGRA w.e.f. April 16, 2006.
Import parity pricing formula for fuel refineries was modified with effect from 1st July 2002.
The main objective of modification in formula was to dispense with the minimum 10% rate
of return requirement and provide incentive to oil Refineries to operate on self financing
basis without any subsidy from GOP.. Gradually, over the years, Tariff protection was
removed from all the products & Currently, the same exists only on HSD, at a reduced
level.

1966
First Lube Refinery
The construction work of first Lube
Refinery was started in May 1964. The
Refinery came into production in June
1966, with crude oil refining capacity
of 600,000 tons per annum and
production of 76,000 tons of various
grades of Lube Base Oils and 100,000 tons of Asphalt per annum. This Refinery also
supplemented fuel products requirement of the country particularly Kerosene and Diesel.
1972
On January 16, 1972, the Government of Pakistan took over the
management of the Refinery under the Economic Reforms Order. The overall
managerial directions were entrusted to the Ministry of Production.
1977
Fuel Refinery
The growth in demand of fuel
products in the subsequent years,
after installation of first Lube Refinery,
impelled the need for further increase
in refining capacity. In the year 1974,
National Refinery Limited signed an
agreement with Industrial Export and Import of Romania to construct a Fuel Refinery
having crude refining capacity of 1.5 million tons per year on turnkey basis. Since the Fuel
Refinery was to be integrated with the first Lube Refinery, a site on the same premises was
selected.
NRL's Fuel Refinery was a fresh addition on the country's growing industrial landscape. The

Energy conservation is vital for today’s refinery economics to reduce per unit cost of
production and to protect Environment. NRL contributes to sustainable development
management through the integration of Environmental Social and Economic considerations
in its work environment. The recent introduction of 90 RON unleaded motor gasoline is a
further evidence of our concern towards good health and preservation of environment.
The primary function of the HSE Department is to explore opportunities for environment
improvement and energy conservation at Refinery Units, prepare and evaluate proposals
and implement them. NRL has an HSEQ policy which is the corner stone in its decision
making process to ensure compliance with the Environmental laws (NEQS) and achieve
continuous performance improvement.

Refinery consumes enormous quantity of thermal energy, supplied by combustion of fuel
oils and fuel gas at furnaces.Number of energy conservation projects have been
implemented at National Refinery, which has reduced energy consumption per barrel of
crude oil. Large quantities of liquid effluents and gaseous emissions are also encountered
in petroleum processing. Improvement programs are constantly undertaken at NRL to
combat pollution in respect of emissions and effluent waste water. Regular monitoring of
pollutants is carried out by testing of effluents and emissions samples to measure
environmental performance. In recognition to the reality that eventually sulphur will have
to be reduced in HSD to make it environment and health friendly, the management has
already initiated a preliminary feasibility study to put-up a hydro-desulphurisation plant
for reduction of sulphur to limits set by the government.
ISO 9001, ISO - 14001 & OHSAS – 18001Certification
In order that Quality Standards and Environment practices at NRL are according to
world standards, certification for Quality ISO 9001 Environment Management System
ISO-14001 has been acquired. Likewise, for controlling of work related health and
safety risks, OHSAS-18001, certification has been acquired. Implementation of ISO
9001, ISO 14001 AND OHSAS 18001 has put NRL as the pioneer in the country in areas
of Quality, Environment and occupational health & safety certification.

National Refinery Limited is engaged in the manufacturing of a
wide range of petroleum products with the objective to achieve
sustainable productivity, profitability and high standards of safety,
occupational health and environmental care. This entails human
resource development, enhancing value addition, implementing

Quality Control & Research & Development

Every product leaving the refinery has to conform to stringent international or national
specification requirements. In order to achieve the fine degree of control, extensive
monitoring of crude oil feed stock, intermediates and final products is conducted with the
aid of modern sophisticated analytical equipment in our Quality Control Laboratory. Usage

of NRL produced base oils by numerous national and international lubricating oil companies
for producing world class lubricants authenticates the supreme quality of our lube base oils.
NRL strives to satisfy the customers by providing best products within specifications.
The role of NRL Quality Control Laboratory is, however, not limited to Quality Control alone.
Research and Development work is carried out to give a basis for innovation in processes
and products.
NRL Quality Control Department, which was certified to ISO 9002 Quality Management
System in the year 2000. Currently entire Refinery is ISO 9001:2000 certified under
Integrated Management System (IMS), which include ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001.
In order to facilitate relief activities for the internally displaced persons of Swat, Buner and
the surrounding areas, the Attock Group of Companies and their employees rushed forward
to help the affectees in their hour of need.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Petroleum Refining involves complex and hazardous operations, therefore, a high degree of skill
and efficiency is required for its safe operation. In order to meet this requirement, freshly qualified
professional degree holders are employed as Trainees under a Management Trainees Scheme. The
duration of Training is normally one year which may be increased or decreased depending upon
performance of the Trainee during training. Initially, the Trainees are acquainted with theoretical
concepts involved in Petroleum Refining and then they are deputed to different functional areas
for practical training. The lectures on theoretical concepts are delivered by professionals working
in Refinery having extensive experience besides possessing professional degree in the relevant
field. The Trainees are periodically evaluated to gauge their level of knowledge and skill attained
and accordingly their training program is reviewed and also revised if necessary.
Similarly, there is an Apprenticeship scheme whereby professional Diploma Holders and

Intermediates in Science are provided Training in Refinery Operations and Maintenance. The
duration of training in this scheme is 2 years for Diploma Holders and 3 years for Intermediates.
Besides training of fresh professionals, the professionals already working in NRL are also provided
training in order to update their knowledge with the latest developments in their field by
conducting Continuing Professional Development Programs.
HUMAN RESOURCE
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of Refinery as professionals trained in Refinery
Operations and Maintenance are not easily available. The human resource consists of
Management, Non-Management and Contractor staff and their total present strength is more than
1200.
In order to meet their genuine needs for maintaining good living standard and good health, there
are various benefit schemes besides Salary, notable among those are:-
o Medical Assistance for Self and Family
o Leave Fare Assistance
o Children’s Education Scholarship for Workmen
o Car Loan (Interest Free)

o Club Membership for Managers and above
o Membership of Professional Institution
o Hajj on Company expenses for Workmen
o Housing Assistance Scheme (Interest Free)
o Pension and Gratuity
NRL maintains a port terminal installation located at Keamari oils peers about 18 km from the

Refinery premises. The Keamari Terminal is connected with the main Refinery through pipelines.
Very large Crude Oil storage tanks at Keamari Terminal receive imported Crude from the oil
tankers, which is then transferred to the Refinery through pipeline. Huge tankages are available
for export of Naphtha, which is also handled at Keamari Terminal.
Fuel products from the Refinery are pumped via Keamari Terminal manifolds to Oil Marketing
Companies, located adjoining Keamari Terminal
NRL’s two Lube Refineries were installed with a time gap of nearly 19 years with each
other. The starting point of first Lube Refinery is a Crude Distillation Unit and subsequent
Vacuum Distillation Unit, whereas the Second Lube Refinery directly starts with a Vacuum
Distillation as it takes feedstock from Fuel Refinery’s Crude Distillation Unit. Whereas the
downstream process units are same in basic technology, the Second Lube Refinery being
designed in Eighties has more sophisticated, advanced and energy efficient plants.
Atmospheric & Vacuum Distillation Units

The primary process unit of the Lube-I Refinery is distillation of electrically Desalted Crude
Oil in two stages. In the first stage, the atmospheric distillation; the relatively light fuel
components, Gases, Naphtha, Kerosene and Light Diesel Oil are separated from the parent
Crude Oil. The remaining reduced crude (Furnace Oil) is then processed under vacuum in
the second distillation stage to produce Gas Oil (Diesel), Lubricating Oil Distillates and
Vacuum Residue.
The second Lube Refinery starts with a vacuum distillation unit. The feedstock (Reduced
Crude) obtained from Fuel Refinery is converted into High Speed Diesel Oil, Light Diesel
Oil, Lubricating Oil Distillates and Vacuum Residue.
Propane Deasphalting Units

The heaviest residual portion of the vacuum distillation is channeled through this unit for
the production of the heavy lubricating oils and asphalts. The separation of these two
intermediates is effected at this unit by a Propane Solvent Extraction process. Same PDA
unit installed at second Lube Refinery is designed with an improved extraction of heavy
lubricating oil with minimal losses of Propane Solvent and energy.
Furfural Extraction Units

Lubricating oils distillates from Two-Stage Unit and from Propane Deasphalting Unit are
processed here turn by turn, for extraction of undesirable hydrocarbons with furfural
solvent. This improves the colour of the oils and enhances their ability to maintain their
lubricating properties under varying temperature conditions. Nine intermediate lube base
oils are produced at this unit, which are called Raffinates. The ‘undesirables’ for lubes
called Extracts are sent to the refinery asphalt production unit or sold as Speciality Oil.
The Furfural Extraction Unit installed in second Lube Refinery, employs advanced
techniques ensuring better solvent recovery and energy conservation.
M.E.K. Dewaxing Units

In this unit, the wax content in Raffinates coming from Furfural Extraction Units is removed
by process of extraction with a mixture of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) & Toluene solvent
mixture. Subsequent filtration at very low temperature is achieved by a process of Propane
refrigeration. All the nine lube intermediates from the Furfural Extraction Unit are
subjected, in blocked-out operation to this dewaxing process. This process improves pour
point or cold flow properties of lubricating oil. The wax separated in the process is also
marketed as a product called Slack Wax.
At M..E.K. Dewaxing Unit of Lube-II Refinery, the process has been improved which has
resulted in higher yields and has considerably reduced solvent losses. Provisions have also
been made in the process for the maximum heat recovery thereby improving the
efficiency.
Hydrofinishing Unit
In this final processing stage, the lube base oils are stabilized and their colour is further
improved by hydrogenation under severe operating conditions in the presence of a
catalyst.
The hydrofinished lube oils are dispatched to refinery storage tanks for distribution to Oil
Marketing/Lube Oil Blending Companies.
Asphalt Air Blowing Unit

The residual effluents from the two Propane De-Asphalting and Furfural Extraction Units
are blended and oxidized with air for the production of paving and industrial grade
asphalts. Currently not in operation.

Crude Distillation Unit
In all refineries, crude distillation is the starting point of the refining operations. The Fuel
Refinery’s Atmospheric Crude Distillation Unit, therefore, serves the primary purpose of
separating the desalted crude oils into its fuel components; Gases, LPG, Naphtha,
Kerosene, High Speed Diesel and Furnace Oil for down-stream processing. The overhead
product of distillation column is Straight Run Naphtha. This is passed through a stabilizer
column to recover LPG. The stabilized Naphtha enters into a splitter column, Light Naphtha
is obtained from the top and Heavy Naphtha from the bottom of the splitter column. Light
Naphtha is used for Gasoline blending whereas major part of Heavy Naphtha is upgraded at
Platforming unit. Naphtha is also exported as feedstock for petrochemical plants.
This Crude Distillation Unit has been revamped for capacity enhancement by about 45% in
which a pre-flash unit was added and the heat exchanger scheme was optimized. This way
the capacity enhancement was made possible without additional fuel oil consumption.
After the revamp ;the pre-heated crude feed is now pre-flashed in a column to recover
maximum of its Naphtha. The pre-flashed crude then follows the conventional flow scheme
as narrated above.
Naphtha Hydrobon Unit

This unit is designed to hydrotreat the Heavy Naphtha fraction produced in Crude
Distillation Units of the Lube and Fuel refineries. Sulphur and Nitrogen are poisons for
reforming catalyst hence removed by Hydro treating Naphtha.
This is a high severity process operated in the presence of a catalyst and hydrogen.
Platforming Unit
The term “Platforming” is applied to catalytic reforming process where chemical conversion
of the hydrocarbon feed is achieved on a bed of platinum based catalyst under extreme
conditions of pressure and temperature. Hydrotreated Naphtha is the feed to this unit
which is converted into high Octane Motor Gasoline.
As part of the Balancing & Modernization Project, the Platforming Unit has also been
revamped for capacity enhancement by 72% of design. Adoption of Radial Flow Reactors
and new improved catalyst has further enhanced the performance and operating cycle of
the unit.
Kero Hydrobon Unit

Essentially similar to the Naphtha hydrotreating process; this unit further refines Sour
Kerosene feedstock into the commercial Aviation Turbine Fuel, JP-1 by catalytic hydro

treating. The fuel used in the Military Air Crafts JP-4 is also produced at Fuel Refinery by
blending JP-1 and Naphtha. Currently not in operation.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
Naphtha and Kerosene Sweetening Units

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from the Crude Distillation Unit is sweetened at Merox units
and thus deodorized in the presence of catalyst and sent to storage for consumer off-take.
Naphtha and Kerosene are also sweetened at Merox and Bender units to eliminate odour
and corrosive compounds before pumping to Marketing Companies.
Propane Recovery Unit

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from Platforming Unit is subjected to further fractional
process for production of high purity refrigeration grade Propane. Propane is used in-house
as solvent and for refrigeration purposes in NRL’s Lube Refinery processes.
Based on Reformate as feedstock from the Fuel Refinery, the unit is designed to extract
the aromatics by SHELL Sulfolane Extraction process. This aromatic mixture is fractionated
through multistage distillation for the production of high purity Benzene, Toluene and
Xylenes. To achieve fine degree of process control required, this unit is equipped with
ultra-sophisticated instrumentation. NRL owns the only BTX plant of the country, meeting
the demands of Paints, Pesticides & explosive manufacturing industries.
National Refinery utilizes a large Number of utilities to support the manufacturing at

production units. The supply of water, steam, fuel and air is the assignment of Utilities
Department. A comprehensive utilities complex exists to meet the refinery’s requirements
of utilities, steam, condensate, cooling water, instrument/plant air and fuels. This consists

of three Demin / Water Treatment plants, three condensate recovery plants, five high
pressure steam boilers, four induced draft cooling towers, a number of
instrumentation/plant air compressors and two units for refinery fuel gas and fuel oil
system. This all operate round the clock for smooth operation of the entire Refinery.
Power Generation
Recently, National Refinery has completed its project of Self-Power Generation. Self-Power
Generation plant has a 7.5 MW steam turbo-generator and a 4.0 MW Diesel-Fuel Oil Engine
Power Generator.
The self-power generation is meant for continuous uninterrupted power supply and to
avoid plant shut-down and production loss due to power break- down.
Oil Movement and Shipping

Huge quantity and variety of crude oils, about 3 million ton per annum and about equal
tonnage distributed in about thirty products are handled at NRL. For this, elaborate system
of pumping stations, pipelines, tankage and loading gantries are maintained. The inventory
of crude oil and products stored at refinery tankage has enormous monetary value. This
operation involves receipt and transfer of crude oil from port terminal, inland domestic
crude oil receipts, transfer to and receipts from processing units, product transfer to Oil
Marketing Companies, product shipment through tank lorry filling gantries.
A whole maze of pipelines and over one hundred and fifty crude oil and product storage
tanks are utilized for this purpose. Shipping Department works side-by-side with Oil
Movement to facilitate documentations and coordination with Excise Authorities.
