OMV's Schwechat Refinery Out Till Q3

REFINING

OMV’s Schwechat refinery in Austria has undergone inspections to a crude distillation unit damaged June 3. OMV expect the refinery to restart and be fully operational in the second half of Q3, 2022, based on an official statement out today.

  • For the duration of the repairs, OMV has established an alternative supply system to supply the markets served by the OMV Schwechat Refinery.
  • OMV plan to mitigate the output shortfall by: Using the capacities of the refinery network within the group; short-term adjustments to increase existing production capacities in the refinery; as well as close cooperation with partners to make up for the missing volumes.
  • The distillation capacity of a smaller crude distillation unit available has been maximized and now covers about 20% of the previous capacity.
