OMV加速奥地利钻井进度

Austria’s OMV said September 29 it plans to drill 12 exploration and production wells in 2017 for both oil and gas in the Weinviertel area, Lower Austria.It plans to increase investments in the Austrian upstream by about 40% over the medium term but adds that “one key precondition is an oil price environment that also permits such investment.”The increased investments are already included in the OMV Group global capital investment guidance of €2.4bn for 2017/2018.Thanks to the use of steam injection and other technology in Austria, said OMV upstream chief Johann Pleininger: “We manage to extract up to 60% of the available crude oil and up to 90% of available natural gas.” About half of OMV’s global 303,000 barrels of oil equivalent in 2015 was produced in Romania and 10% in Austria.
