Due to the current political unrest in Libya, OMV expects a temporary reduction of its Libyan production and can not exclude a complete stop. In 2010, Libya contributed approx. 33,000 boe/d, that is about 10%, to OMV´s total production.

Concrete impacts are currently under evaluation. OMV´s presence in Libya has been reduced to few essential staff.
