- Most of the additional Petrom investment is directed toward the Neptun Deep gas project.
- First gas remains targeted for the first half of 2027 while the total project estimate stays broadly unchanged.
- Emma Delaney joins OMV Petrom's supervisory board as the group's chief executive.
OMV stock remained in focus on Monday, November 9, after OMV Petrom shareholders approved a higher 2026 investment budget on Friday, November 6. The decision directs most of the additional spending toward the Neptun Deep gas project, while the overall project estimate remains broadly unchanged, according to Ziarul Financiar.
OMV stock traded at 71.23 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:16 CET on Monday, November 9, 0.45 percent below the Xetra close of Friday, November 6. The comparison uses the Xetra closing price of 71.55 euros.
Investment timing remains central
Petrom's shareholders lifted the 2026 investment budget by RON 969 million to RON 9.978 billion. The Exploration and Production budget rose 22 percent to RON 6.706 billion, while Refining and Marketing spending declined 1 percent to RON 2.455 billion and Gas and Energy spending increased 7 percent to RON 561 million.
The additional allocation changes the timing of capital deployment rather than the stated total cost of Neptun Deep. Petrom continues to target first gas in the first half of 2027. The company said the updated budget also reflects a weaker leu, with the planning exchange rate moving from 5.1 to 5.21 lei per euro, while the contingency reserve was reduced by 51 percent to RON 215 million.
Leadership adds a new watchpoint
Shareholders representing 87.7 percent of Petrom's capital took part in the vote, which was approved virtually unanimously. They also appointed Emma Delaney to the supervisory board through April 28, 2029. Delaney has led OMV AG since September 1, 2026.
OMV Petrom's official nine-month results showed record investment of more than RON 6.6 billion and continued progress on Neptun Deep, including eight completed wells and the pipeline to shore. For investors, execution discipline and the timing of spending remain key considerations as the project approaches its production target.
