据路透社维也纳 5月3日报道，奥地利石油天然气集团OMV首席执行官Rainer Seele周五表示，该公司预计其利比亚石油产量将在未来几个月保持稳定，并坚持今年每天50万桶的产量目标。
该集团在生产目标上进展缓慢，3月底仅达到了47.4万桶/日，因为其业务受到了利比亚El Sharara油田中断以及1月初挪威Aasta Hansteen气田意外中断的影响。
Seele表示，公司在利比亚的目标是平均日产量达到3.5万桶。他补充称，OMV今年还将增加新西兰、马来西亚和阿布扎比新收购油田的液体产量。
在其下游业务方面，OMV表示，由于成本上涨，该公司炼油利润率（将原油转化为燃料和石化产品的收益）在3月底降至每桶4美元，而第二季度的炼油利润率可能保持不变，因此，该集团将其全年指导利润从每桶5美元降至每桶5美元以下。
这位首席执行官表示，从中期来看，由于新的海洋法规要求船舶从2020年起使用更清洁的燃料，因此该比例应该会提高，因为OMV将从中受益。
OMV公布第一季度核心利润下降7%，至7.59亿欧元（合8.48亿美元），未达到预期，但分析师们强调了其强劲的现金流。
该集团迄今已斥资6.4亿欧元，修建北溪2号天然气管道，以向欧洲供应俄罗斯天然气，并表示将支持为完成该项目所做的努力。作为向该项目提供资金的五个西方合作伙伴之一，OMV已同意提供多达9.5亿欧元的资金，该项目曾遭到美国和一些欧洲国家的反对，这些国家称该项目使欧洲过于依赖俄罗斯的天然气。

Austria's OMV upbeat on oil output, cautious on downstream
VIENNA, May 3 (Reuters) - Austria’s OMV expects Libyan oil production to remain stable in coming months and is sticking to its output target of 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) this year, the chief executive said on Friday.
The group made slow progress on its production goals, reaching 474,000 bpd by the end of March, as its business was hit by disruptions at Libya’s El Sharara oil field and — to a lesser extent — Norway’s Aasta Hansteen gas field.
Seele said he was aiming for an average production rate of 35,000 bpd in Libya. OMV would also increase its liquids output this year from newly bought fields in New Zealand, Malaysia and Abu Dhabi, he added.
In its downstream business, OMV said the refining margin - the company’s earnings from turning crude oil into fuel and petrochemical products - fell to $4 a barrel per end-March due to higher costs.
The margin would likely stay flat in the second quarter, Seele said. As a result, the group slightly lowered its full year guidance for the margin to under $5 per barrel from $5 per barrel.
In the medium-term, the ratio should increase as OMV would benefit from new marine regulations that require ships to use cleaner fuel from 2020, the CEO said.
OMV posted a 7 percent fall in first-quarter core profit to 759 million euros ($848 million), missing expectations. But analysts highlighted a robust cashflow.
The CEO said the group had so far spent 640 million euros on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline being built to supply Russian gas to Europe, and said it would support efforts to complete the project.
OMV has agreed to provide up to 950 million euros as one of five Western partners offering finance for the project that has faced opposition from the United States and some European states which say it makes Europe too reliant on Russian gas.
