Repsol is a Spanish
integrated oil and gas company present in over thirty countries, employing
24,000 people. The company is the market-leader in refining and marketing in Spain and has a
worldwide daily production of 346,000 barrels of oil equivalent.
During the last decade Repsol has reinvented itself from being specialized in refining by growing a large exploration and production business, which since 2004 has posted more than 50 discoveries, eight of which are amongst the world's largest. As a result, Repsol in 2013 posted its largest ever Reserve Replacement Ratio (RRR) of 275%, beating all of its peers. Its refining business is amongst the most efficient in Europe, posting higher margins than rivals following refinery upgrades. The company has one of the largest technological investigation centres in Europe to boost exploration and production activity by applying ground-breaking technology. Repsol’s expansion strategy envisages industry-leading production, reserves and earnings growth throughout the next decade thanks to the successful start-up of new fields, including large offshore projects in Brazil, and a strong exploration pipeline. The company’s growth potential is recognized by analysts, 98% of whom have hold or buy recommendations on the stock, the highest proportion amongst European oil majors. www.repsol.com |
