Gerhard Roiss, CEO of OMV:
“The year 2012 started very favorably for OMV. On February 22, we were able to announce a potentially significant deep water gas discovery in the Black Sea offshore Romania. This is a good example of how we are delivering on our strategy by focusing on bigger, high impact exploration targets. In Libya, production has quickly returned to approx. 85% of pre-crisis levels and these volumes contributed positively to the operating result in Q1/12. Stronger oil prices and the very cold Central European winter supported the results of our E&P and G&P business segments respectively. In the R&M business, both refining and marketing margins have been under pressure, a situation which is expected to persist in the rest of the year.”< /p>
