Iran sends 1 mln barrels of oil to Austria's OMV in spot delivery

By  Trend

Austria's OMV said on Friday it received 1 million barrels of crude oil from Iran in a spot delivery at the Italian port of Trieste which the energy group will send to its two refineries in Austria and Romania.

The delivery was Iran's first to OMV since 2012, when sanctions were imposed on the country. OMV is in talks with Iran about future deliveries, although no such contract has been signed yet, a spokesman told Reuters.

Friday's delivery included Iranian heavy and light crude, he added.
