OMV (formerly "Österreichische Mineralölverwaltung", ÖMV), is an integrated international oil and gas company, headquartered in Vienna. It is active in the upstream (Exploration and Production) and downstream businesses (Refining and Marketing as well as Gas and Power). With group sales of EUR 36 bn, a global workforce of around 25,500 and a market capitalisation of EUR 7 bn (end of 2014), OMV is one of the largest listed industrial companies in Austria.〔(OMV Annual Report 2014 )〕 ==History== OMV (ÖMV as it was known then) originated in 1956 as a joint-stock company formed out of "Sowjetischen Mineralölverwaltung" (SMV). Four years later, in 1960, the company opened the Schwechat refinery near Vienna.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.omv.com/portal/01/com/omv/OMV_Group/About_OMV/History ) 〕 At the end of 1987, 15% of OMV was privatised, making it the first public listing of a state-owned company in Austria. In 1989, OMV acquired a 25% stake in plastics group, Borealis. In 1990 the company opened its first filling station in Vienna-Auhof on 26 June 1990. The International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) of Abu Dhabi acquired an initial 19.6% interest in the group at the end of 1994. The following year, the group changed its name from "ÖMV" to "OMV" because the umlaut on the "Ö" is not commonly used in many languages. In the early 2000s, OMV expanded into Eastern Europe, by acquiring around 10% of Hungarian oil company, MOL and in 2003 it acquired the upstream division of Germany’s Preussag Energie, expanding its filling station networks. In 2004, OMV became the market leader in Central and Eastern Europe following the acquisition of 51% of Romanian oil and gas group Petrom which constitutes the largest acquisition in OMV’s history. In the same year, OMV increased its share capital, meaning that more than 50% of the company’s shares were in free float for the first time. Following the sale of 50% of the subsidiary company Agrolinz Melamine International GmbH to IPIC in 2005, the Borealis group was taken over in full together with IPIC. In 2006, OMV acquired a 34% stake in Turkish oil group Petrol Ofisi - the largest Austrian investment in Turkey to date. In the same year, the board members of OMV and Verbund, the Austrian utility group announced plans for a merger. However, this collapsed due to resistance from Austrian MPs. OMV increased its stake in Hungarian oil group MOL to 20.2% in 2007. OMV then sold its entire stake in March 2009 after MOL rejected a takeover bid in 2008 and the European Commission imposed tough restrictions for an approval of the deal. OMV acquired the stake held by Dogan Holding in Petrol Ofisi in late 2010, which further increased its stake in the company to 95.75%. By the end of 2014, OMV holds and interest of 98,79% in Petrol Ofisi.〔 In September 2011, the company unveiled its revised corporate strategy, ‘profitable growth’. The cornerstones of this strategy are: to grow Upstream; to optimise Downstream; and to improve the performance across the entire group.〔 In 2012, the Domino-1 well in the Romanian Black Sea exploration licence Neptun was the most significant discovery in that year, which has the potential to be OMV´s most important gas discovery ever.〔 On October 31, 2013 the acquisition deal with Norwegian Statoil containing participations in oil and gas fields and in development projects in Norway and the UK was closed. Proven and probable reserves will climb by about 320 mn boe. With 2.65 bn USD, this is the largest transaction in OMV’s history.〔(OMV Press Release ).

Retrieved on March 27, 2014.〕 A divestment agreement for the 45% stake in Bayernoil was signed in December 2013,.〔(OMV Annual Report 2013 )〕 The sale was closed in June 2014.〔(OMV Press Release ). OMV closes the sale of Bayernoil. Retrieved on April 13, 2015.〕 As of 2015, the business segments "Refining & Marketing " and "Gas & Power" were merged to a new business segment "Downstream". Furthermore, the business segment Exploration & Production was renamed "Upstream". Thus, OMV is subdivided into the two business segments "Upstream" and "Downstream".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「OMV」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
