| REPSOL YPF DISCOVERS NEW GAS RESERVES IN TRINIDAD

Repsol YPF and BP Amoco have discovered
gas reserves estimated at 56,000 million cubic metres in south-east Trinidad.
This discovery was made at the offshore Manakin-1 well operated by BP Amoco, in
which Repsol YPF has a 30% stake. This discovery is in deep water, 135
miles offshore. Repsol�s percentage of the
aforementioned net reserves will be 17,000 million cubic metres of gas (17bcm),
and this is equivalent to the natural gas consumed in Spain during one
year. |
