Mariana Gheorghe, CEO of Petrom
“The strong results recorded in Q1/08 are the consequence of the favorable international oil price environment and the continuous progress of our restructuring and modernization programs. The successful turnaround programs in Exploration and Production started to yield results and the integration of the recently acquired oil service activities of Petromservice into the newly established business division, Exploration and Production Services, is progressing in line with the established schedule, and will lead to increased efficiency at the Exploration and Production activity. Similar good progress was recorded in Refining and Marketing, as well as in Gas and Power, with the investment programs advancing as planned. All these positive results reinforce our confidence that the modernisation of Petrom is on track and form the basis for the future growth of the company.”
