OMV: swapping Norway for Russia
Today, OMV made its long-awaited announcement on an asset swap with Gazprom, which the company has consistently promised to the markets is going to be a major step forward in OMV’s long-term strategy, and an answer to its greatest challenges. The deal will swap a 38.5% share in OMV Norge for a 24.98% share of Areas IV and V of the Achimov formation, within the Urengoy oil, gas and condensates field in Russia. We like the deal, as it solves OMV’s reserve replacement problem, drives medium-term production, reduces average operating costs, diversifies geographic exposure and also reduces the need to make investments in exploration.
