OMV Petrom’s hydrocarbon output grew to 182,000 BOE (barrel of oil equivalent) a day in October-December 2014, from 181,000 BOE in the same period the year before, OMV said in a press release Thursday.

Austrian group OMV, OMV Petrom’s majority shareholder, posted a 24% growth in natural gas sales in the fourth quarter, to 147.19 TWh from 118.4 TWh in October-December 2013.

On the electricity segment, performance was affected by difficult conditions in Romania, partially evened out by the Samsun plant in Turkey.

OMV Petrom operates a 860 MW thermal power plant and a wind park in Romania.
