OMV and YUKOS signed Memorandum on crude deliveries via new pipeline (E)

Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is
responsible for the content of this announcement.
OMV und YUKOS have announced today that they signed a Memorandum of
Understanding on the supply of up to 5 million tons (mn t) of crude
oil per annum to the Schwechat refinery of OMV by a pipeline, which
is to be constructed from Bratislava in the Slovak Republic to
Schwechat in Austria.  The estimated investments for the project
amount to EUR 28 mn.
"This memorandum represents a new step on our way of developing the
long-term mutually beneficial relationship with OMV", said the acting
member of the YUKOS management committee Mikhail Brudno.  "When
implemented, this large-scale project will enable our partners to
significantly diversify crude shipments, and will allow YUKOS to
increase export deliveries to the promising European market."
OMV CEO Wolfgang Ruttenstorfer: "For OMV this memorandum is of high
strategic value as it clearly supports our organic growth strategy." 
OMV wants to double its 2001 market position by 2008 in both Refining
and Marketing and Exploration and Production.
Gerhard Roiss, deputy chairman of OMV’s executive board: "The
cooperation will bring OMV cost advantages on both the product and
logistics side".  The transportation volume is set, on preliminary
basis and with an option to be increased, at the level of 2 mn t of
crude oil per year, which corresponds to some 20% of the processing
capacity of the Schwechat refinery.  The capacity of the pipeline is
expected to amount to approximately 3.6 mn t per year, expandable to
some 5 mn t per year through addition of pumping facilities.
The length of the future pipeline will be approximately 60
kilometers, of which 50 kilometers will pass through Austrian
territory.  The pipeline is planned to be commissioned by the end of
2005 with crude oil shipments beginning in January 2006 for the
initial period of 10 years.  The crude oil pricing is planned to be
in line with that under crude supply contracts concluded by YUKOS
with other refineries in the region.
