In March 2013, it was announced that after continuous outstanding performances, Petrolul Ploiești will make his move permanent in the summer.[2]
In the 2012–13 Liga I season he played in 31 games and scored 16 goals, helping his team finish third in Liga I. In the same season he won the Romanian Cup with Petrolul Ploiești scoring the only goal in the final against CFR Cluj. He played a total of five games and scored six goals in the Romanian Cup in the 2012–13 season.
On 28 August 2013, Bokila joined the Russian Premier League side Terek Grozny for 2.5 million euros, from Petrolul that bought him after the loan from Zulte.[3]
