In 2008, Galp Energia acquired Shell's equity holdings in Mozambique, Swaziland and Gambia, which strengthened its presence in Africa.
While achieving synergies in procurement, logistics and operations management, our oil product marketing strategy for the African market aims to develop business in Portugal by exporting fuel and lubricants.
Galp Energia aims to be a long-term investor in African countries, fostering social and economic development and the adoption of adequate energetic solutions. Although our operations in Africa are not sizeable (0.6 million tonnes), they capitalise on the excellent local relationships we maintain in our exploration and production activities. This presence has also promoted our investments in other business areas.
