History
The history of oil marketing in Kenya began in 1904 during colonial times. Initially, kerosene was the main import in tins but later gasoline was imported in tins and drums. Royal Dutch Shell established the first depot at Shimanzi, in Mombasa, in the early 1900s.

On 26 August 2019 President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya flagged off the first consignment of 200,000 barrels of crude oil for export as the Eastern Africa nation joins the league of petroleum exporting countries. The first consignment of Kenyan crude oil which left the Port of Mombasa for Britain, makes Kenya the first Eastern Africa country to become an oil exporting nation, said Kenyatta at a ceremony in the coastal city.
