Repsol as an investment

The strength of a global, integrated energy company

Global, integrated, sustainable, and present throughout the entire value chain. These are just some of the compelling attributes that make us as an attractive company. Moreover, our activity focuses on Upstream and Downstream, and we hold a 20% stake in Gas Natural Fenosa – a liquid asset that diversifies our portfolio.

A balanced, diversified asset portfolio

Armed with an experience spanning over 80 years, Repsol has come to demonstrate its strength as an integrated and sustainable company with a strong positioning in the oil and gas sector. We have evolved to a point where we have developed a diversified portfolio boasting assets across more than 40 countries.

Our current 2016-2020 Strategic Plan envisages the creation of a stronger, more flexible and competitive Repsol. This plan is aimed at creating value and building resilience through efficiency and asset portfolio management. Moreover, reduced investment levels along with this active portfolio management are combined with the efficiency and synergies programs implemented in all of the company’s business units and corporate areas.

Through the creation of value set out in this phase, we are able to shift from a growth strategy to one that aims to boost the value of our current assets by optimizing their management and improving their efficiency. Our resilience will enable us to create value even with volatile oil prices, as the break-even for positive cash flow generation for Brent crude will stand at 40 dollars per barrel.

Some of the commitments we undertook as part of our 2016-2020 Strategic Plan include:

Reducing debt and maintaining our credit rating
Attractive shareholder returns
Safety and sustainability, a priority for the company. Our objective is to reduce CO2 emissions by 1.9 million tons, and with our goal of zero accidents in mind, we also aim to minimize all possible incidents.

Upstream

The exploration and production of hydrocarbons at Repsol is characterized by a diverse asset portfolio both at the operating and geographical levels, and it is primarily centered on three regions: North America, Latin America, and Southeast Asia, mainly focusing on onshore, shallow water, and unconventional assets.

Our average production stands at 700 kboe/d.

Our net proved reserves at December 31st, 2015 were 2.373 bboe.

Downstream

Our Downstream area encompasses our Refining business in Spain and Peru which has an estimated one million barrels of refining capacity, our Marketing business which has more than 4,700 service stations throughout Spain, Portugal, Italy, and Peru, and our LPG, Trading, and Chemicals businesses on an international level. Together, these businesses form a fully integrated value chain and affirm that our Downstream business is a sustainable cash flow generator that will help us bring in around 1.7 billion euros a year.
