Pakistan Welcomes Historic Crude Oil Shipment from the US
It’s an exciting time for Pakistan’s energy sector! On Wednesday, the country celebrated a significant milestone with the arrival of the MT Pegasus, the largest US crude oil tanker to dock in Pakistani waters. Carrying a whopping one million barrels of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, this vessel represents a groundbreaking moment—it’s the very first cargo of US crude oil to hit a Pakistani port.
So, what does this mean? Well, this import is the formal beginning of a new chapter in crude trade between Pakistan and the United States, courtesy of a recent bilateral trade agreement. Cnergyico, the company behind this monumental event, highlighted the arrival as a leap forward in Pakistan’s engagement with global crude markets.
The MT Pegasus set sail from Houston on September 14, smoothly making its way to the Cnergyico oil terminal in Balochistan. Once it arrived at the company’s Single Point Mooring (SPM) offshore terminal, the excitement was palpable. Many industry insiders see this development as a critical step for both Pakistan’s energy landscape and its economic growth.
Looking ahead, Cnergyico isn’t stopping here. They have plans for a second cargo to arrive in mid-November, plus a third shipment anticipated in 2026. This proactive approach not only underscores their ambition but also positions the company and, by extension, Pakistan as a budding player in the global crude oil market.
With 2017’s record-setting crude oil vessel still fresh in memory, this new achievement marks a significant evolution for Cnergyico and its role in Pakistan’s energy sector. It’s a proud moment that showcases the growing trade relations between Pakistan and the US.
