OMV AG is an Austrian energy company that finds and produces oil and natural gas, refines crude oil into fuels, and sells those products to customers. It also trades and markets natural gas and sells chemicals and petrochemical feedstocks through its chemicals business. In simple terms, OMV sits across several steps of the energy supply chain, from extracting raw materials to turning them into products people and businesses use every day.

Its main customers are fuel distributors, drivers, airlines, industrial users, utilities, and chemical manufacturers. OMV makes money by selling crude oil, natural gas, refined fuels, heating fuels, lubricants, gas, and chemical products. Because it is integrated across production, refining, trading, and distribution, it can capture value from multiple parts of the energy market rather than relying on just one product line.

What makes OMV different is that it is not just an oil producer or just a fuel retailer. It combines upstream energy production with refining, gas trading, and chemicals, which gives it a broader role in the energy and industrial value chain. That mix makes the business more complex than a pure-play company, but it also means OMV serves both household energy demand and large industrial customers.
