奥地利OMV将投百亿欧元转向天然气和炼油

中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社维也纳3月13日消息，奥地利能源集团OMV首席执行长周二表示，公司准备投资100亿欧元，主要将集中在天然气和高附加值的炼油产品业务，同时将发展欧洲以外地区业务。

OMV表示，其他能源公司已经在将投资组合转向天然气，因为天然气是污染程度较低的石油替代品，公司也将加强天然气勘探、炼油和运输业务，目标是成为欧洲市场的顶级参与者之一。

这家部分国有持股的集团在奥地利、德国和罗马尼亚经营炼油厂，并在中欧和东欧、北海、中东和非洲勘探油气田。

OMV收购预算的一半将用于通过投资欧洲以外的市场来扩大其炼油业务，当前公司的主要销售收入来自于欧洲市场。

OMV首席执行长雷纳·西尔(Rainer Seele)在伦敦的一次演讲中表示：“我们将向新兴市场分散投资，尤其是在我们谈到下游市场时。”

OMV to spend 10B euros in shift towards gas, refining

Austrian energy group OMV is ready to spend 10 billion euros to focus more on gas and value-added refined products and grow its business outside Europe, its CEO said on Tuesday.

As other energy companies shift their portfolios towards natural gas as a less polluting alternative to oil, OMV said it too will beef up its gas exploration, refining and transport business, aiming to become one of Europe's top players in the market.

The partly state-owned group operates refineries in Austria, Germanyand Romania and explores oil and gas fields in central and eastern Europe, the North Sea and the Middle East and Africa.

Half of the acquisition budget will be used to expand its refining business by investing in markets outside Europe, where it currently generates the lion's share of its sales.

"We are going to diversify it towards the growing markets, especially as we speak about downstream," Chief Executive Rainer Seele said at a presentation in London.
