Expansion & oil exploration

In 2008, OiLibya entered the Ethiopian market acquiring 100% of Shell's Ethiopia and Djibouti petroleum retail business. [11] The amount of money spent by Oilibya to close the deal was unrevealed. [12] Oilibya has bought many other retail petroleum dealers in Africa, including taking over ExxonMobil's business in Kenya. [13]

Bahru said at the time the sale was consistent with Shell's global strategy to focus on oil exploration and get out of retail business. [14]
