The Shah Deniz II consortium informed OMV, as a shareholder of NABUCCO Gas
Pipeline International Gmbh (NGPI), about the decision on their preferred gas
transportation route to Europe. The Nabucco West project was not selected by the
consortium. While OMV accepts the decision of the consortium, OMV is of the
opinion that the offer which was submitted by NGPI met all the selection
criteria and was highly competitive.
The decision does not influence OMV's strategy of growing upstream and
integrated gas. OMV intends to play a role in further securing and diversifying
the gas supply to Europe and will assess alternatives to complement the existing
supply routes. OMV believes that a lot of highly valuable work and goodwill has
been put into this project which will pay off in future projects.
