Repsol is an integrated energy company that engages in upstream and downstream activities worldwide. Headquarted in Madrid, Spain, the company was founded in 1927 and went by the name of Repsol YPF until it was renamed in 2012. Today, it operates in over 40 countries with 25,000 employees. Like some of his peers on our Power 50 list this year, CEO and executive director Josu Imaz San Miguel assumed his role shortly before the oil slump in April 2014. It was under his leadership that Repsol acquired the Canadian Talisman Energy for $8.3bn in 2015, significantly increasing Repsol’s presence in more than 50 countries. The acquisition also made it more upstream focussed.
