The meeting participants discussed relevant issues related to cooperation. The parties noted the continued and active growth in the Austrian imports of Russian gas supplied by Gazprom. In the period from January 1 through June 6, 2019, these gas deliveries reached 6.6 bn cubic meters, an increase of 27% against the same period of 2018.
Alexey Miller and Rainer Seele, Chairman of the Executive Board of OMV, today signed a number of documents to expand cooperation between the companies.
The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Alexander Novak, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation, and Elisabeth Udolf-Strobl.
The parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding to implement a joint cultural project in 2019. According to the document, it is planned to organize “Imperial Capitals: St. Petersburg – Vienna. 20th Century,” a music and visual art event showcasing Russian and Austrian 20th-century art, in St. Petersburg this October, as well as an opera performance for children at the Vienna State Opera this December. In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed to execute a joint cultural project in 2020.
The parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding on LNG cooperation.

The Memorandum stipulates that the parties intend to continue their cooperation in the LNG sector after 2020, specifically via large- and small-scale LNG supplies. It is also planned to explore the possibilities of developing joint infrastructure projects in the field of small-scale LNG.
