OMV Petrom announced that its electricity generation units did not operate in the second quarter, while its refinery utilization rate dropped to 31%. The company’s hydrocarbon production decreased by 5% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year, to 113.700 barrels of oil equivalent per day. That is also a decrease compared to the result of the first quarter of the year.
In terms of sales volumes, the company also reported decreasing levels, including in the refined products area. The planned turnaround of the Petrobrazi refinery was prolonged by two weeks due to discovery maintenance. All units are gradually being restarted.
The gas-fired power plant in Brazil was closed for the entire quarter due to the previously announced extension of the shutdown.
