Energy yearbook

Annual Energy-statistics cover 2024

What data can be found in the energy yearbook?

This publication has been prepared by Repsol's Economic Research Department with the aim to provide a tool that will aid objective analysis, discussion, and debate on energy markets. 

It's an energy database with special emphasis on both the oil and natural gas sectors, as well as on electricity generation and sustainability indicators.
