The document outlines the oil and gas industry's lifecycle, starting from the origin of hydrocarbons formed from ancient organic materials to exploration, development, production, and refining processes. It highlights the transportation and storage of extracted hydrocarbons and the variety of products derived from crude oil, emphasizing its importance in modern society. Additionally, it mentions Repsol's involvement in these phases, showcasing its commitment to safety, technology, and professional expertise.

1. 2.Identification and Exploration
1. Origin
The origin of oil and gas goes back millions of years. Sediments from plants, animals, and microorganisms
make up the natural reserves of hydrocarbons.
The exploration phase begins with the acquisition of mining rights and the subsequent seismic
surveying to determine the location of hydrocarbon reserves.
3. Development
and Production
5. Refining
Once the deposits have been identified, the
process of drilling development wells and
building facilities to start up production on the
reserves begins. The strictest safety and
environmental standards are always followed.
4. Transport
and Storage
The extracted hydrocarbons are transported
through pipelines to a surface facility where they
are stored in tanks. Crude oil extracted at offshore
platforms is transported through subsea
pipelines or oil cargo ships to refining,
processing, and storage plants.
In the refinery, the crude oil's component parts are separated to create products, fuels,
and raw materials for use in modern life.
