About the Company

Repsol

Global energy company: oil, gas, renewables

Repsol is a publicly traded energy company with roots in Spain’s state oil assets, now operating across the oil and gas value chain and expanding into multiple energy sources as it transitions to a lower-carbon mix. Its main activities are upstream exploration and production of oil and gas, and downstream refining and distribution of fuels, with growing efforts in new-energy areas. It differentiates itself through a large international footprint (including the YPF acquisition and a major stake partnership with EIG) and by pursuing partnerships to fund its transition rather than relying solely on its traditional assets. Its goal is to monetize its existing asset base while building a diversified, multi-energy portfolio and pursuing strategic options such as an upstream IPO in the future.
