National Hydrocarbons Institute

The National Hydrocarbons Institute (1980–1995, Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Hidrocarburos, INH) was a Spanish state-owned oil and gas company established through Law 45/1981,[1] to manage the business-related activities of the petroleum industry in the country. However, privatization of the energy sector began in the late 1980s and INH was abolished in 1995.
