Compañía Arrendataria del Monopolio del Petróleo, S.A. (Campsa) was the state-owned petroleum products company of Spain created during the 1920s. It was dissolved in 1992 due to the demands of the European Union. Its assets were distributed to the largest private petroleum companies in the Spanish market at the time, principally Repsol, Cepsa, and BP. The rights to the Campsa brand were given to Repsol.

The remaining assets of the company, primarily focused on logistics and pipeline services but also its historical archives, were incorporated under the name Compañía Logística de Hidrocaburos, S.A. or CLH. Following a 2008 agreement between CLH and the Comisión Nacional de la Energía (CNE) the last took over the archives.[1]
