In Pakistan, the need to transport oil has been growing at a fast rate, to sustain industrial growth and a progressive agricultural sector. Movement by road has been causing congestions, delays, accidents, road degradation and environmental concerns are becoming more acute, particularly in urban areas as the energy requirements grow at a fast pace. Pipeline transportation of petroleum is the ideal solution of these problems. By contrast, pipeline transportation has almost no negative ecological impact. Similarly, White Oil Pipeline has reduced the movement of about 4,000 trucks operating out of Keamari to Mehmoodkot and back.
