‘Repsol announced a better than expected quarter in the 1st quarter of 2023 with a change in its petrochemical margin indicator and the splitting of the Commercial and Renewables divisions’ indicates UBS.

Total hydrocarbon production increased by 9% to 608,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, mainly as a result of its activities in North America.
