"This proves that OMV can perform exploration operations also in challenging offshore areas," he said.
The company said the discovery at the Tornado well follows a two-year drilling and exploration campaign in the Atlantic. The region includes the Rosebank and Cambo discoveries, which OMV considers "good candidates for development."
OMV is a partner in the Tornado well with Dana Petroleum and other regional interests. Data from the Tornado discovery is under review to determine its commercial viability.
