About SOR Petroleum

Who We Are

A premier oil distribution company engineered to secure, haul and deliver high-grade petroleum products across every region of Ethiopia, built on reliability, integrity and a deep sense of national purpose.

A Name Rooted in Ethiopia's Landscape

Named for a River That Never Stops Moving

High in the Illubabor highlands, the Sor River begins its journey down through the valleys, joining the Birbir before feeding into the great Baro, a waterway that has carried trade and travelers through the region for generations. That river gave the company its name.

The connection is intentional. A river does not pause for difficult terrain, and neither does Sor Petroleum. Energy, industry and community life all depend on that same kind of momentum, and the name is a standing reminder of the job the company set out to do.

"Sor Petroleum stands as a pillar of reliability, ensuring Ethiopia's energy future flows uninterrupted."

"Just as the Baro River has long been a lifeline for trade and transport, Sor Petroleum stands as a pillar of reliability, ensuring Ethiopia's energy future flows uninterrupted."
