    LAbOrAtOry KnOwLedge. deLiVered.™ OMV Aktiengesellschaft Harmonizing Austria’s Largest Integrated Oil and Gas Company C LABVANTAGE OMV Aktiengesellschaft Company Background With group sales of 42.65 billion EUR and a workforce of nearly 30K employees in 2012, OMV Aktiengesellschaft is Austria’s largest listed industrial company. In late 2004, OMV acquired a major share of 51% of the privatized Romanian oil company, Petrom, and became the market leader in Central and Eastern Europe. OMV is active in Romania and Austria and holds a balanced international portfolio in Exploration and Production. As of 2012, OMV had oil and gas reserves of approximately 1.12 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) and a production of approximately 303,000 BOE per day. In Gas and Power, OMV sold about 437 terawatt-hours of gas. In addition, it operated a 2,000km long gas pipeline network with a marketed capacity of around 103 billion cubic meters of natural gas in Austria. With a trading volume of around 528 terawatt-hours, OMV’s gas trading platform, the Central European Gas Hub, is amongst the most important hubs in Continental Europe. In Refining and Marketing, OMV had an annual refining capacity of 22 million tons and approximately 4,400 filling stations in 13 countries at the end of 2012. System Sought A When the major share of Petrom was taken over by OMV, two specialized internal laboratories became s available within E&P, both serving mostly their local OMV appreciated market and sometimes the OMV branch office. After the browser-based E major equipment investments for ICPT Campina were LiMs because it could done to adjust the analytical standards to the ones already existing in the Gänserndorf laboratory, the be used in a number St next step in supporting the harmonization of laboratory of labs and countries operations was to have a common approach in data management.

    OMV PETROM S.A. Exploration & Production The Solution is using: ArcGIS Server Advanced WebOffice 6 GeoNIS ArcGIS Desktop WebGIS The Company With activities in the business segments of Exploration and Production, Refining, Marketing and Power, OMV Petrom had in 2008 a production of 188,476 boe/day. OMV Petrom has a maximum refining capacity of 8 million metric tons per year, approximately 550 filling stations in Romania and 269 filling stations in Moldova, Bulgaria and Serbia. In 2008, the turnover of the company was EUR 4,552 mn and EBITDA was EUR 969 million. After its privati- zation in 2004, the company recorded pozitive results. The modernization process initiated in 2005 is underway in accor- dance. The Needs To find and operate new reserves OMV Petrom must under- stand needed infrastructure, business condition and environ- mental factors within a geographic framework. The implementation of an Enterprise GIS within the organiza- tion can optimize the usage of the available data within OMV Petrom. Starting to build up an Enterprise Geodatabase with data from whole Romania was just the first step. The use of ArcGIS Desktop needs high-level educated GIS professionals and very often the user doesn’t need the full desktop GIS functionality. The logical answer for this requirement was the implementa- tion of a WebGIS for the company wide use of GIS data. Not all users should get allowed to view all GIS data and re- lated entities like documents or scans. Therefore fine grained user role based access control is a must. A strong need for efficient administration tools for being able to manage change requests fast and easily was submitted to handle migration from employees from one branch office to another.

  • OMV Petrom Reports Perspective Oil Deposits in Romania Research Drills
    OMV Petrom reports perspective oil deposits in Romania research drills OMV Petrom (SNP) informed natural gas carrier company Transgaz Medias (TGN) that there are “beautiful” perspectives regarding the gas deposits in the Black Sea, the chief of the company’s gas Dispatch, Mihai Patarniche said yesterday in a seminar on energy, quoted by Mediafax. Answering questions asked by the media, he added that, when the extraction of gas in the Black Sea will begin, “tens of millions” of EUR will be necessary to lay the pipelines that will carry the gas to shore, with the government most likely to become involved in the operation. OMV Petrom and ExxonMobil could extract 6.5 billion cubic metres of gas each year from the Neptun perimeter in the Black Sea, according to preliminary estimations, a quantity equivalent to half of Romania’s annual consumption. The two companies jointly explore the Neptun perimeter of the Black Sea. In February last year, the two companies announced a significant gas find when drilling the Domino-1 well, with preliminary estimations speaking about 42-84 bln cubic meters of natural gas. If subsequent operations will confirm the technical and commercial feasibility of gas extraction in the Neptun block, the cumulated value of investments in the exploration and development phases might reach several billions of USD. The extraction of gas in the Black Sea is expected to start towards the end of the decade.Asked if OMV Petrom will be able to export the gas extracted from the Black Sea, the Transgaz official have an affirmative answer. “If Romania is obtuse, Petrom can export, although it cannot do whatever it likes, because it is under Romanian jurisdiction,” Patarniche explained.

We focused on the energy sector because of the impact that its expansion has on the evolution of economies around the world and because of its dynamics in the sense of gradually shifting to the use of energy from renewable sources. We have used panel regression models to analyze the operating cash flow and the profitability rates and the determination of a causal or dependency relationship with labor productivity or management rates. The results of this study show a significant negative correlation between operating cash flows and the average duration of stock rotation, and no correlation between productivity and the operating cash flow. Instead, the average duration of stock turnover does not at all influence the profitability Citation: Sab˘au-Popa,C.D.; Rus, L.; rates, and productivity is always significant for the return on assets, ie forthe return on equitywith Gherai, D.S.; Mare, C.; T, ara, I.G.
