Repsol said the deal would give it control of 303 Shell service stations in Portugal, along with fuel-selling and storgage operations.

The transaction will also enable Repsol to become third largest oil sector operator in Portugal, with 417 service stations and a 19 percent share of that market.

It would also become the second leading direct seller of oil-bearing products, with a 21 percent market share.
