Brufau was selected from nearly 200 nominations by a committee of industry experts that determine the winner of the awards hosted by Platts, the leading global energy, petrochemicals and metals information provider with more than one hundred years of history. Winners of previous editions include executives from several of the major energy companies in the world.

Platts highlighted the transformation registered in Repsol in recent years, during which it has become a world leader in exploration and has made five of the most important hydrocarbon discoveries in the world. In addition, the company has recently developed the largest industrial project in Spain, which has placed its downstream area at the forefront of European refining systems. Along with this transformation, Repsol has created exemplary human resources and environmental management policies.

Platts recognised Repsol in 2009 when it won the “Commercial Technology of the Year”, award, for its kaleidoscope project of innovative technology used for hydrocarbon exploration. In addition, in 2004, the company was awarded the “best engineering project of the year” for the technology developed for the Prestige oil recovery, also recognising its solidarity and altruism, despite not having any relationship with the ship or its cargo.
