- In line with the rest of the industry, net income fell 55.4%, due to the sharp decline in international oil (-49%) and gas prices (-60%) and Spanish refining margins (-74.3%).
- The company’s operating income registered an improvement compared to the previous quarter, a reflection of a slightly improved economic situation.
- The company has carried out a record exploration campaign during 2009 with 15 finds, including 2 in Brazil and Venezuela which are amongst the world’s biggest discoveries.
- During October, the potential of the Shenzi field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico (United States) was confirmed, with current production above 120,000 barrels per day representing 20% more than initial expectations.
- Repsol Chairman Antonio Brufau said "the recent discoveries constitute a great value potential for the company and consolidate the transformation of its business structure."
