Oil & Gas Industry Excellence Award Winner - Repsol

A decade ago, Repsol executives realized that increasing pressure from local regulators and rigorous European emissions legislation as well as from ESG investors meant that their company needed to establish more reliable and credible environmental management processes. Repsol’s legacy processes for calculating air emissions were disparate, labor intensive and time consuming. Each facility had its own process to create the required regulatory reports and documentation. Many consisted of a series of steps to copy information from source systems – such as PI, laboratory information management systems (LIMS) and production systems – then create and maintain hundreds of spreadsheets with all the necessary calculations and reports. Each process required a host of manual tasks, which had to be performed repeatedly by Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) staff. As a result, these facility-specific processes left room for human error and provided only limited visibility across the company.

Repsol is one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies, with a broad footprint that extends across more than 40 countries on five continents. Repsol is the major Oil and Gas Company in Spain, based on its extensive upstream and downstream operations, including exploration and production, refining, distribution and marketing, petrochemicals and power generation. Among its key core values, Repsol is committed to maintaining compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and aiming for a neutral environmental impact.
