Overview
Repsol is an energy company that operates across the oil and gas value chain, including exploration, production, refining, and selling fuels, and is expanding into a multi-energy portfolio as part of the energy transition. Its products come from extracting hydrocarbons, processing them into fuels and other energy products, and distributing them to markets, while it increasingly adds new energy forms and services. The company differentiates itself through its long history of international expansion, strategic partnerships, and large-scale asset transactions, such as selling a stake to EIG to fund its transition. Its goal is to monetize its existing assets while accelerating the shift to a diversified, lower-carbon energy mix, potentially supported by a US IPO for its upstream unit from 2026 onward.
