Executive Summary
I have done my summer internship regarding MBA in Pakistan State Oil Ltd. In PSO House Lahore I had moved through different departments of the whole organization.In the start the vision was to explore the diversities of marketing but as I entered the organization the facts and procedures were so interesting that my aim changed and my sense of curiosity forced me to move towards them. During my stay I went through different concerned places and sites. The departments I worked in were; Cards Department, Retail Department, Operations Department, HSE and MQTU.The stay was also full of Sales meetings, Workshop on awareness of ISO 9001-2008, Workshop on Effective Leadership. Luckily the first visit of new MD was also in my presence and it was too a tremendous pleasure.

Company Introduction
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 12
PSO came into being in the mid-70s when the Government of Pakistan amalgamated three “Oil Marketing Companies”: Esso Eastern, Pakistan National Oil (PNO) and Dawood Petroleum as part of its “Nationalization Plan”.
From 1999 to 2004, PSO had undergone radical changes, both internal and external and has emerged with a new look and as a market leader with a long term vision. The company is the only public sector entity in Pakistan that has been competing effectively with three multinationals (Shell, Caltex and Total) which are supported technically by their parent organizations.
Pakistan State Oil Company Limited (PSO) is a Karachi based energy company. The company is engaged in import, storage, distribution and marketing of fuel oil, jet fuel, kerosene, LPG, CNG and petro-chemicals. The company has 3,612 distribution outlets across the country, including 1,610 new visions outlets. PSO has a storage capacity of 76% of total national storage. PSO has a market share of over 82.1% in Black Oil and 61.2% in White Oil. The company has a vast infrastructure of 9 installations and 13 storage depots from south to north and a supply chain supported by a strong tank-lorry fleet and railway wagons. The company is headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan.
PSO operates at 8 airports and serves 4 domestic and 14 international carriers with 64% of market participation in aviation fuel.PSO enjoys 36% market participation in lubricants (15-20% unofficially); it is also engaged in blending and marketing of lubricants for Castrol and Total.PSO has a retail network of more than 3800 branches including 1800 New vision and 1200 Old vision outlets. Round about 2.8 million customers visit PSO outlets daily.PSO is ranked as a blue-chip organization. Winner of KSE Top Companies Award. PSO has 80% of the country’s oil storage capacity through a network of 23 Depots and 9 Installations.
It is one of the finest examples of research & value added services. There is a vast range of cards available for customers of different segments. And still the continuous process of change and progress is going on in the department.Company Offers types of cards
These cards are ‘Vehicle Specific’ Cards. Which have defined vehicle Plate number on them. The card has also amount, quality and type of product described for a specific period which is usually month i.e 400 liter petrol, 2 liter Oil for LZR 2343 for a month. The amount can be altered but can’t be exceeded without amendments. Government sector is the major customer for these cards. 1.65% service charge are levied on these cards which are justified with the credit limit of 45 days and sharing with software partners.Government entities are not charged the amount because they purchase and are ordered to purchase at original price.The negotiators are allowed to negotiate at minimum of 1% charges not less than this.
Vehicle Specific 14 days for card issuance Rs 100 Membership fee for single card 1.5% Security due to credit limit 1.65% charges 45-55 days credit facility 5-7 of month bills are issued 2% Late Payment Surcharge No GST Refund Payment in RBS (former ABN-Amro)

Corporate Cards
These are the cards which are for organizations and are ‘Employee Specific’ cards. All the details are same and similar as the fleet cards but the facilities which were provided with reference to the vehicle plate are now converted to the person.
Customers
Warid Mobilink Wateen SNGLtd Nishat Ltd etc
Commercial Cards
These are the cards which are issued for the vehicles of the organizations engaged in the manufacturing process to save them from dual taxation. Basically the sales tax registered customers. Invoices provided by PSO are taken to FBR for GST refund.
Prepaid Cards
These are the cards which are quit similar to the cards provided by telecommunication companies. The cards are issued on payment of the described amount. PSO is not responsible in case the card is lost from the customers.
Individual Customers
These cards are issued on the demand of individual customers. These cards are issued on name of customers with security taken from estimation of consumption provided by customers.

PSO Internship Report 16
Loyalty Cards (Obsolete)
These cards were issued and points were gained by the customer on their bases free amount of product was offered. The cards failed by faulty use of the attendants to gain points and enjoy the product.
Privilege Loyalty Cards
This was the campaign for buying from brand partners but wasn’t effective too.
PSO-UBL Auto Credit Card
From march 2009 this new addition in PSO’s portfolio. The card offers 5% free fuel at every purchase from PSO outlet and 1% from any other outlets. It also special discounts on Vehicle tracking devices, PSO’s lubricants and CNG installation kits.
Vehicle Identification System
PSO is fourth in the world to introduce VIS.
1. America2. Canada3. Turkey4. Pakistan (Only by PSO)
PSO has imported the system from turkey. The device is a set which is fixed on the tank of car, which is than connected to the odometer with a device in the middle. Device is usually placed under the seat which provides all the information regarding fueling and mileage.The device is also placed on the dispensing unit which matches the details with the vehicle otherwise the fueling is not done. Following are the specifications
No involvement of the attendant Rs 15000 for the device 2.25% charges for the facility

Fleet Management System
It is an online SMS system which provides information about fuel consumption, remaining balance and other handy information.
Send SMS to 776 For mobilink, Ufone, Warid, and Telenor customers Rs 5 per SMS
Partners in Cards Facility
ORIX Tech Alson Tech
ORIX is the provider of the software through which Cards are swiped. The details are matched with the system inside and ROCs are issued. Two receipts: one for the customer and one for PSO record of ROCs which is kept for three months.Four types of devices are linked with the software for supportive action.
ICE and ICE plus are the devices which work on land line PTCL.In GPRS Sim is used which is of Telenor or Warid.In VSAT the communication process completes by a radar which works by satellite.
Alson is a technology partner in providing software for VIS. Through which the data is matched between the vehicle and the dispensing unit.
Marketing Strategies
Overall as the department provides value added services so the campaigns were basically awareness ones for the target market.
Procedure
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 18 Approaching transport department of the target market. Making way to the higher authorities Making a formal presentation for awareness of the facility Filling up the forms 4-6 weeks for card issuance Call 0800-03000 for card activation
Barrier
Main barrier the negotiator had to face was to make them agree for the surcharge (service charges).The government sector was also levied this amount from November 2008 and they were never ready to pay for it because the government takes the product on original price.
Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats
Strength
Vast Network Automated Cards which competitors never offer No competitor on motorways 7000 customers 100000 cards issued CRM8
Weakness
Long time for card issuance Problem in the devices Marketing by HRS employees Non acceptance by few filling stations Dealer issues
Opportunities
Large share of market still to capture VIS

Meetings
In the cards department the clients are followed and given presentations on the cards facilities, advantages and the whole detail of charges and procedures.During my time in the cards department I went on presentations with
Virtual University NEXTERA Fauz Engineering PIFRA (AG Office)
There I learned about those organizations and the way of presentation and negotiations in a very sophisticated manner.The information which was very interesting for me was at NEXTERA;
NEXTERA
These are the manufacturers of High Efficiency (HE) devices CMOS and the company is working under the umbrella of globally renowned company ELTEKVALERE (everywhere telecom exists) which provides 96% efficiency which is ever high while ideal efficiency is 80% and its example is transformer. The products are very sensitive and even the human charge is removed while it’s manufacturing.They provide energy in order to fulfill a continuous process which needs to be carried on otherwise it will cost time cost as well as money cost. i.e
Telecom Service providers need a continuous amount of Direct Current (DC) for the clarity of voice and running of system.
Dehydrogenizing process done in oil industry. If there is a gap in the process the bubbles will spread and all process will need to be done again.
These devices (particular batteries) fulfill this GAP.

Problems
The situation of fraud cards was tackled with ultimate blockage and then other actions.
Operations Department
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 21The department is the working in PSO as blood in human body. The department deals two functions and both have very crucial part in the competitive market. It deals with storage and distribution of product4. Three zones are made
Daily Stock Report and Gauge Reports are made for the terminals and depots. Currently Pakistan is at the 1:5 situations, means local refineries meet one fifth of the total demand and all of the else is being imported and mainly imported from Qatar.
Working at the Terminals and Depots
Allocation is made The customers who are allocated the product take a demand draft to the
storage area. Monitoring Unit receives the token and matches with the allotment list. The right persons are allowed to fuel the described amount. Health and Safety measures are carefully seen mean while.
Five Points (Mandatory for entry)

Visits as an Internee
Machikee Terminal (Near Shaikupura)10,11
The teminal consists of 11 vertical and 8 horizontal tanks. Each tanker had capacity of 10880 Kl approximately. It is a terminal where product is received through PARCO pipline. Nearby SHELL CALTEX and TOTAL terminals exists. At PSO’s terminal workers work in three shifts and is the largest in its vicinity with an overall capacity of 1 crore liters.Whole of the canting, decanting and supply procedures were explained.
Lalpir Depot ( Near Multan)
The product was received through tank lorries. It is one of the important terminals of PSO because it deals with IPPs. So a huge set back can be experienced when ever this depot is effected.Health Safety and environment rules were somehow followed. There other departments such as Accounts, Monitoring Room, Logistics and Engineering side was seen in detail.
Extra Learning
I was gone through the HR manual but to mention its details is beyond the scope of my report. I had gone through ISO 9001- 2000 & 2008 which I have over gone in annexure. The introduction of technology timely was fully briefed

Mobile Quality Testing Unit
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 23To meet the requirements of customer in a very satisfactory manner the department was made functional. The main purpose of MQTU is ‘Quality Assurance’. For the fulfillment of purpose the MQTU has been provided with mobile vans through which the products are tested, verified and failed. The tests and procedures are verified from Moody’s International. MQTU is first in PSO to be awarded ISO 9001 2008 Moody’s International Award (A) The tests are done on the filling station to save the customers from any effect. The products which are tested are
PMG HSD HOBC
All of them are passed through different tests which result in failure or pass of test.The tests done are below
1. Critical Flash Point Test2. Kero Test3. Density Test4. Color Test5. Volume Test
Critical Flash Point Test (PMG)
Critical Flash Point Test is done for PMG. In this test Initial Boiling Point and Final Boiling Point are noted. The success of test depends on following criteria
Basically the test is done in an automated device and the product recovery and the results are yet positive below the maximum temperature.The test point is called so because at the FBP the flash light blows but it can not be seen in sun light.
Kero Test (PMG & HSD)
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 24Kero test is done by putting kerosene into the product which removes the dyes from the product. The original colors of the product are seen and the amount of dyed portion must be same as the quantity of kerosene. Usually 10 ml of it is mixed.
Naturally PMG is ColorlessHSD is yellowish in colorOrange PARCO Product, Flesh Attock Refinery Product, Pinkish is standard and imported color o HSD.
Density Test (PMG & HSD)
A device called hydrometer is put in a defined quantity of product through which measures are taken to check the density of the product.
Density= Mass/volume
PMG 0.855 per literHSD 0.745 per liter
Color Test
A round disk with colors is matched with the original color of the product. Not done.
Volume Test
The amount of product is taken in a metered empty flask of one liter. The product is taken from all the nozzles of dispensing units. Usually one line is short means one small measure.
Procedure Adopted by MQTU
A confidential list which is issued by the head office is mailed to the staff. They did not know about anything unless the inspection F/S is defined.
The team members take the van making the way most suitable. The target point is reached. A very useful discussion is made with the dealer
about his experience of the product.
Electric wire from the mobile van is attached to the power supply. That’s why the inspection is not done in rain to avoid any earth.
Video from the monitor in the van is run to educate the working staff. Automated Flash Point Test is done. Kero Detection Test is done. Density Test of HSD & PMG.
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 25 Volume Test for Products. The overall situation of the F/S is noted: Canopy, Dispensing units, Staff
Uniform, Wall Display. Lubes Tested: Display, Date, Price and Originality. All the report was furnished to another computer in the van. Two copies were
taken from the printer both signed by the dealer, one for him and other for PSO.
The actions are taken on the bases of the records against the guilty dealers but it is above from the authorities of MQTU.
Suggestions
Somehow make it possible to interact with customers:a. Questioners to at least the car ownersb. Taking suggestions from the customersc. Taking complaints from customers with PSO/Dealer
More need for automation in the results of tests so that the data of the results may be transferred automatically to the computer (Removal of human interference).
Movie must be made more effective. The staff must be penalized so that required interest may be gained.
Some other experiences may be connected with the van. For consumer affiliation and attraction small campaigns may be run asa. Distribution of prizes (pollution masks etc)b. Small organized event c. PSO Cards promotion
Visits as Internee
Once again after sometime I had to see towards head office because no authority to make me move in the MQTU van. there wasAt 3;pm the list was received and I moved with the van for inspection.All the tests were physically performed in front of me and I from the start became a huge acknowledger of the performance. Few things which need to be done were suggested.
Health Safety & Environment
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 26HSE is a department which not only works for health and safety in working area but also for the environment. The awareness campaigns are run and the things which are good or bad for health safety & environment are projected. A very comprehensive manual for guidance in related issues has been provided, ‘HSE Manual’.Following are the examples and their taglines
We can make a difference
Smoking
Quit now to breath easySmoking means risking your life and around you
Safety
Buckle up for securitySeat belts mean safer drive for all
Helmet
Mind your headA hard hat means avoiding injury
Driving
Road sense is common senseObey traffic signs for safety
Environment
Protect itEnvironment is life
Pakistan Environment Protection Act 1997 is also followed.Weekly journals are issued with very informative facts for healthy life i.e
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 27
A triangle ∆ is formed below the bottles of drinking water which has numbers from 1….5. If the number is less than five means it is not safe for use of two or
three days or maximum a week. It causes cancer. Usually mineral water . bottles has 1 number.
Smoking a cigarette after meal is 10 times more injurious.
Never walk after meal.
Don’t eat fruits abruptly after meal.
Achievement as an Internee
Study of HSE manual was completed and fully discussed
Industrial Consumers Department
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 28
It is a department which deals with industrial sector and huge power producers. The function remains the same as supply of the product.Furnace Oil is the main product of the department with the Lubricants. Furnace Oil is a also POL product which is separated in the distillation process.
Lubricants
There is a chemical department which deals with additives which are mixed with the base oil to form a complete range of products.Base Oil + Additive = Lubricants
Competitors CALTEX CASTROL SHELL MOBIL TOTAL
Industrial Lubricants
General purpose Machinery Oil Spindle Oil Hydraulic Oil Turbine Oil Industrial Gear Oil Sugar Mill Oil Open Gear and Wire Rope compound Refrigeration Oil Refrigeration Oil Imported Heat Transfer Oil Slide Way Oil Quenching Oil Metal Cutting Oil Emulsifiable Cutting Oil Transformer Oil

PSO Internship Report 29Major Consumers are
PIA New Khan Daewoo WAPDA Textile Sector Automobile Sector
Korangi Lube Manufacturing Terminal is state of the art additive mixing laboratory in Pakistan under supervision of PSO. Few of other competitors also take advantage of this facility.
Marketing Strategies
Pull Strategy
IC follows a pull strategy for its customers. In case of furnish oil no other competitor is able to fulfill such a huge orders i.e WAPDA needs 28000 M/T of furnace oil per day and currently PSO can supply 25000 M/T per day.
Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats
Strength
Huge Supplies Large Network Wide range of Products with very sophisticated differences High Margins
Weakness
Lack Of promotion in LUBE Lack of awareness in customers LUBES not real focus
Opportunities
LUBE is not the market of PSO so lot of margin to enter new segments
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 30
Threats
Highly financed campaigns of competitors Image of Competitors Internationally Recognized products with international brands
As an Internee
This was a very high profiled department but unfortunately it was not situated in the PSO house and I had a very little time left from my completion to be there.
Retail Department
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 31Retail is one of the front end fighters for PSO. It basically deals with the retail outlets which are the source of main supply for large number of customers. The main F/S whom all the people get used to for fuelling of cars, bikes, buses and other vehicles.
Retail fulfills following three functions
1. Development of New Outlets2. Maintenance of existing window outlets 3. Promotion of LUBES in this channel
Development of New Outlets
The development of new vision outlets has three categories
a. New Buildb. Conversionc. Ground Up
It is important to know the difference between New Vision Outlet & Old Vision Outlet.Now all the outlets with old PSO monogram and with lack of facilities are OVPs and the outlets with new monogram and which meet and fulfill the international standards are NVPs.
New Build
All the outlets which are being now built are new vision outlets
Conversion
When the Old Vision Outlets are converted into new ones they pass through conversion process. From early past conversion has been stopped to avoid difference which was created in the process. This action was very useful for the sake of uniformity.
Ground Up
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 32To maintain the uniformity now the old outlets are fully destroyed and are build newly, this is ground up.
Maintenance of existing window outlets
The maintenance of existing outlets is also a very important task. For this purpose site engineers are being appointed. They check overall condition of the F/S and all the technical issues accordingly. In maintenance flowing things are considerable
Engineers Responsibility Proper working of Dispensing Units Proper working of cards machines Proper working of generators
Retail Department’s Responsibility Uniform of Staff Cleanliness of ground Horticulture items Non Fuel Retailers Wall Display
Promotion of LUBES The promotion of lube is also responsibility of retail. For the fulfillment of this purpose few methods and techniques are used.
Quotas regarding new and old vision outlets are being set which are included in the agreement to be fulfilled.
720 liters per month for New Vision360 liters per month for Old Vision
The supply for HSD and PMG can be stopped for non fulfillment of any mandatory clause but it is one of the last options which can be used.
Procedure for setting up outlet
Any person can approach the retail department for his wish to set an outlet he needs to provide an application with papers of ownership of land.
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 33
Each application is entertained and a survey team is appointed for making feasibility of land. In the feasibility report following points are considerable;5
a. No. of vehicles passing through that vicinity b. Competitor’s outlets
c. Minimum 5 Km from PSO’s own outletd. Projected salese. Plot Areaf. Return of investment time
These points are to secure the profit expected from an investment.
After the survey the application is rejected or being selected for following categories;
In CF all the major expanses are beard by the company the dealer provides the land. CF is done on the bases of location of land. For a highly profiled or profitable location company does this kind of agreement.
In DFA civil works are done by the dealer and the signage and dispensing units are provided by the company. It costs the dealer 7-8 million approximately.
In DFB all the expenses are beard by the dealer. This agreement is done while the feasibility report is so weak but yet the dealer wants to have an F/S.
The CO-CO sites are the sites which the company runs itself. The owner provided the site and shares the profit but the site is run by PSO. This agreement is mostly done on the dealer request that is willing to provide the land but does not wants to run it.
Marketing Strategies

PSO Internship Report 34
Customer Relationship Groups6
The retail department has formed CR groups and on their bases decisions of supply and advancement are made. Dealers are customers of retail. All the allocations, F/S improvement, Credit time etc are provided on these bases.
Push Strategy
The sales of LUBES in this department are totally made on push strategy. The dealer is made bound to take a defined stock of lubricants whatever the case is.
Cross Selling
Non Fuel retail outlets are being formed on F/S. Which include tuck shops, atms, Pizza huts etc.

Visits as Internee
As it is most related to the outlets, I was moved through different outlets i.e
Shah Noor Filling Station (Multan Road)
Arrow Head ( Near Bhaikay wal) Tiger (Ferozpur) Intikhab ( Faisal Town) Railway Site CO-CO (Australia Chowk)
Same was everything but different was the vision to visit was different. Now I came to know about the ideal conditions for any kind of filling station.There are two types of dispensing units which any of the company uses
1. Tatsuno Service provider Alson2. Wayne Service provider Atlas
Both work with complete satisfaction.I was honored to run a CO-CO site from 9 to 5. In which the fuel was received, issues were tackled, few of the customers were interviewed, the tire shop and car wash places were completely explored.It was a 80% dealer and 20% company profit sharing site. The Following were generation from
Tire shop Rs 12000 Car Wash Rs 35000 50000 were for petty expenses CO-CO sites are less profitable and profit of PSO at the end of June was

Projects
Ethanol-10
It is a product which consists of ethanol blended gasoline. Few of the countries of Europe have gone through this technique. It has two main advantages
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 37
Cost Effective No Bad effect on engine
Ethanol is by product of sugar industry and is totally wasted, so it’s not very expensive but the real customer will get a huge relief in PMG price after its introduction. Still 10% is introduced and up to 25% of ethanol can be added. And finally its also environment friendly.
Bio Diesel Nurseries
It is a very fine project which is being moved with a complete support of government uder the umbrella of PSO and it’s a project of Alternate Energy Resources. Yet Pakistan has huge amount of unexplored resources but it’s a very fine project and it is also cheaper than the formal means.
Virtual University PSO
VU PSO Campus is going to be established in District Badin. The project is headed as a social responsibility of the company.
Internal Displaced People
IDPs as humans as well as our national fellows have been provided 10 million donation by PSO in Prime Minister Special Fund for IDPs.

Weakness
Centralization Brand Image not well promoted
Opportunities
PSO Cards large segment yet to be captured E-10 Alternate Source of energy Bio-Diesel
Threats
Competitor Advertising Campaigns Increase in number of competitors (3 to 11)
Suggestions
Muhammad Saqib Murtaza
PSO Internship Report 41 There is a serious need of empowerment and decentralization
The procedures need to be more networked not individualized
MQTU should bring up with different other extravaganzas with the van in same cost
Need for large promotion campaigns in lubricants
The allocation of product needs to be more automated
Until now it should come out of political interference on ground level
The senior management appointed before the change in organization should be replaced with more competent and deserving people

Life is no straight and easy corridor alongWhich we travel free and unhampered
But a maze of passagesThrough which we must seek our way
Lost and confused now and againChecked in a blind alley
But always, if we have faithGod will open a door for us
Not perhaps one that we ourselvesWould ever have thought of
