Safety is key in all of our processes and operations

We manage process safety throughout the whole life cycle of our activities, from the moment when a plant or process is being designed until it is dismantled.

Prevention is fundamental in process safety

We control risks and manage them effectively, detecting industrial accidents before they happen.

Best practices

The best way to show our commitment to safety is by sharing real stories about the actions we have taken.

We are the first foreign company to perform a ship-to-ship (STS) operation in Brazilian waters.

The achievement, which Repsol Sinopec Brazil secured on December 21, 2016, optimizes and gives flexibility to our crude oil trading operations.
