Ortiz Menendez E.T.S. de Ingenieros de Minas, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Rios Rosas 21, 28003 Madrid, Spain. [email protected] Abstract. The main events of the history of petroleum in Spain are the following: 1) The mining concession of petroleum named El Progreso is the first one in Spain and occurred only seven years after Edwin Drake (1819-1880) drilled the first oil well in Pennsylvania. 2) The first survey of oil production in Spain, well known as the Tejon borehole, was conducted by the Sondeos de Huidobro Company in 1900, in Huidobro (Burgos), and reached 501 m of depth. 3) In 1964 CAMPSA and AMOSPAIN found petroleum in the Ayoluengo field (Burgos), with a borehole of 1,349 m of depth. This was the first and only petroleum field in the continental Spain in this zone. The Ayoluengo petroleum field has been active during 35 years. In this paper we will review the history of petroleum in peninsular Spain. 1. INTRODUCTION It has been historically known the existence of several oil evidences of solid, liquid and gaseous seeps in Spain. These evidences have guided the identification of areas that are favorable for the research of petroleum deposits.

It was precisely during these past few weeks that we finally saw the results of almost two years of intense efforts to achieve suitable compensation for the expropriation from Repsol of 51% of the share capital of YPF and YPF Gas, which took place in April 2012. During these past two years, Repsol's strategy was based on defending the rights and interests of all its shareholders, through a two-pronged approach: a broad and firm legal offensive before the courts and international arbitration bodies, coupled with a willingness to engage in open dialogue toward an amicable compensation agreement that would be satisfactory for the company. "The agreement regarding the expropriation of YPF guarantees suitable financial compensation and allows us to move into a new era free from uncertainty, to shore up our financial strength and to increase our options for growth" This two-pronged strategy finally proved successful.

  • Catching Cartels
    Catching Cartels An evaluation of using structural breaks to detect cartels in retail markets Author: Sebastian Mårtensson Supervisor: Håkan J. Holm 2nd year Master Thesis in Economics Department of Economics Lund University June 2021 Abstract This thesis evaluates a new method for detecting cartels based on the idea that cartels create structural breaks in their price generating process. The method is evaluated along certain criteria and is further explored using more detailed data on Spanish retail fuel prices. A novel contribution with this thesis is to present an improvement of the method. The method fails to detect cartels and fails to live up to some of the criteria presented. Acknowledgments I would like to thank Håkan J. Holm for his advice and guidance in writing this thesis. It would not have been possible without him and the experience would have not been as interesting.

  • The Spanish Distribution System of Oil Products: an Economic Analysis
    The Spanish distribution system of oil products: an economic analysis Ignacio Contín*, Aad Correljé**, and Emilio Huerta*** This paper is concerned with the structure and regulation of the Spanish distribution system of oil products. Spanish-based refiners have a dominant position on the commercialisation of oil products. The Compañía Logística de Hidrocarburos (CLH), a joint venture between the three Spanish-based refiners and Shell, is the only firm that distributes oil products by pipelines in Spain. It also owns most of the storage capacity ex-refineries. CLH constitutes a “bottleneck” in the recently liberalised Spanish oil market, in particular, for transport inland. As a result, the government decided to regulate CLH in June 1996. However, more transparency should be achieved in this regulation. 1. Introduction The Spanish oil industry was dominated by a state monopoly between 1927 and 1993. The oil sector was vertically disintegrated while the government strictly regulated the commercial relationships between companies involved. Ex-refinery and retail prices were imposed administratively. The government established the size of the deliveries from the refiners to the monopoly. The monopoly was operated by CAMPSA (Compañía Arrendataria del Monopolio de Petróleos Sociedad Anónima) which took care of distribution and marketing, either by its own service stations or by concessionaires. Following a rigorous reorganisation from the early 1980s onwards, Spain began to gradually liberalise its oil industry in order to adapt it to European competition rules and to address the instabilities inherent in the prevailing system of regulation. Access to various segments of the oil chain (distribution, transport, storage, and retail trade) was gradually opened up to new domestic and foreign operators.
