Klaus Angerer, director of business development in the Middle East at Austrian oil firm OMV, has said the company is in preliminary talks with state-run Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) to undertake gas projects in the UAE, Reuters has reported. 'We have a number of project ideas. Our feeling is there will be a positive response. It's very, very preliminary. Abu Dhabi is interested in talks with companies like ours,' he said. OMV is 20% owned by the Abu Dhabi government through the emirate's investment unit the International Petroleum Investment Corporation.
