Saudi oil company Aramco opened its first fuel retail station in Pakistan on Tuesday, after acquiring a 40% stake in Pakistan Gas & Oil (GO) earlier this year. GO, one of the country’s leading fuels, lubricants and convenience store players, boasts a network of over 1,200 retail outlets across the country.
The cooperation with Aramco, the largest integrated energy and chemicals company in the world, aims to provide high-quality fuels and enhance the consumer experience.
The Aramco-branded stations will feature premium “ProForce” fuel, first-class Valvoline lubricants, professional Express Care car services, and modern stores designed to provide a seamless customer experience.
“This represents an important milestone in Aramco’s downstream expansion as we enter the promising Pakistani market,” said Yasser Mufti, Aramco’s Executive Vice President of Products and Customers. “By partnering with GO, which brings deep industry knowledge and a commitment to innovation, we are poised to deliver exceptional value to our customers.”
Khaled Riad, CEO of GO, said that the launch of the first Aramco-branded station embodies their dedication to excellence. “Along with Aramco, we aspire to redefine the fuel retail sector in Pakistan and set new standards for quality, service and customer satisfaction,” he noted.
Aramco’s acquisition of its stake in GO Pakistan was completed in May, marking its first investment in the country’s retail sector and signaling its intention to expand into high-value markets.
