Austrian oil and gas group OMV is again postponing an investment decision on its Black Sea exploration project and is now aiming for a decision next year at the earliest, its chief executive said on Friday.
The exploration of the Black Sea Neptun block is a joint venture between OMV's Romanian subsidiary Petrom and U.S. major ExxonMobil and includes the first deep-water exploration well in Romanian waters.
ExxonMobil is considering exiting the project and OMV has signaled an interest in at least buying part of the Exxon stake.
