===CAMPSA and REPESA=== In 1927, [[CAMPSA]] (Compañía Arrendataria del Monopolio de Petróleos S.A.), headed by Miguel Primo de Rivera y Orbaneja, was created with the objective of administering concessions in handing over the state monopoly of petroleum companies. Originally the company was arranged so that the state would have a minority stake. The Creation of CAMPSA intensified the progress of the Spanish refinery industry. In 1941, the Spanish government under [[Francisco Franco]] created the INI (National Industry Institute), in order to finance and promote Spanish industries. The INI supported CAMPSA in its exploration of Tudanca, Cantabria, a monumental moment in Spanish exploration on the Iberian Peninsula. The year 1947, marked the end of a 20-year contract between the Spanish state and CAMPSA, decentralizing services while at the same time giving specific rights to the state to intervene in the company's affairs, minus distribution and commercialization, which remained exclusive to CAMPSA.<ref name="Repsol Our History Page">{{cite web|title=Repsol.com About us>Our History|url=http://www.repsol.com/es_en/corporacion/conocer-repsol/perspectiva_historica/default.aspx}}</ref> In 1948, REPESA (Refinería de Petróleos de Escombreras S.A.) was incorporated for the installation of a refinery in the Valley of Escombreras ([[Cartagena, Spain|Cartagena]]).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Discover Repsol's origins: from Campsa to Hispanoil |url=https://www.repsol.com/en/about-us/history/origins/index.cshtml |access-date=2023-01-20 |website=REPSOL |language=en-GB}}</ref> REPESA became the symbol of the increasing industrial consolidation in the refining sector, as it took on the production and marketing of petrol, oils and lubricants under its own brand name.'<ref name="Repsol Our History Page" /> From the beginning, REPSOL was REPESA's "star brand" of petroleum<ref name="Repsol Our History Page" /> as a REPESA product brand.<ref name="Repsol Our History Page" />
