The value of the consolidated sales, of RON 11.32 billion, obtained in the first semester, increased by 15 percent compared to the similar period of last year, as a result of the positive evolution of prices and volumes for oil and electricity products, partially offset by the smaller volumes of sales of natural gas.
Investments of RON 1.713 billion decreased by 19 percent compared to the RON 2.102 billion made in the first six months of last year. For the whole year, OMV Petrom estimates investments of RON 4 billion, 75 percent of the amount to be directed in Upstream (exploration and production, n.r.).
