Vivo Energy plc, commonly referred to as Vivo Energy, is a downstream petroleum company with its headquarters in London. It maintains subsidiaries and operations in 23 countries across Africa that encompass the supply, storage, distribution, and retail of a range of petroleum products. Vivo Energy is a Royal Dutch Shell and Energen licensee and sources, distributes, markets and supplies fuels and lubricants. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index and of the JSE All Share Index.

History

Vivo Energy was established in 2011, as a partnership between Vitol Group, a Swiss-based Dutch-owned multinational energy and commodity trading company, and Helios Investment Partners, a United Kingdom-based private equity firm, with the objective to purchase majority shares in the downstream fuels business of Royal Dutch Shell in Africa for approximately $1 billion.[2]

Cape Verde, Senegal, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Tunisia joined Vivo Energy in December 2011. They were followed by Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea in February 2012;[3] Botswana and Namibia in October 2012;[4] Kenya in November 2012;[5] Uganda in February 2013,[6] Ghana in August 2013[7] and Mozambique in August 2013.[8]

Vivo Energy had its initial public offering in May 2018[9] that saw its shares listed on the London Stock Exchange with a secondary listing on the JSE.[10] This IPO was the largest in the LSE in 2018 and saw the founding shareholders, Vitol and Helios, raise GBP 548 million.[11]

Operations

Until spring 2019 Vivo Energy was a Shell licensee operating in 16 African markets: Botswana, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, Tunisia and Uganda.[12] However, in March 2019, Vivo Energy completed a transaction with Engen Petroleum, adding eight new countries and 230 Engen-branded service stations to its network. The new markets for Vivo Energy were Gabon, Malawi, Mozambique, Reunion, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe; accordingly (accounting for the fact that Vivo is a franchisee for both Shell and Energen in Mozambique) Vivo operates in 23 counties.[13]

As of October 2020, the company operates over 2,000 service stations across its markets.[13] Shell and Vivo lubricants have blending capacity of around 170,000 metric tonnes at plants in seven countries producing Shell branded lubricants and employing around 150 people.[14]
