OMV Flags Higher 3Q Margins, Kurdistan Windfall
VIENNA, Oct 13 (Reuters) - OMV expects a third-quarter windfall of a 90 million euros ($106.6 million) due to a settlement reached with the Kurdish leadership in August, the Austrian energy company said on Friday.
OMV said its refining margin rose to $7.04 per barrel in the third quarter from $6.03 in the previous quarter and from $3.69 a year earlier.
Output was stable compared to the previous quarter at 341,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and up from 301,000 a year earlier, it said.
Iraqi Kurdistan's regional government agreed in August it would pay $1 billion to UAE-based Dana Gas and its partners, including the Pearl consortium, to settle a long-running London court case.
OMV, which holds a 10 percent stake in Pearl alongside partners such as Germany's RWE, received approximately 60 percent of the 90 million euros as a dividend. Around 40 percent was put into an account for future investments in the Khor Mor field.
OMV releases full third-quarter results on Nov. 9.
