Austrian oil-and-gas company OMV AG (OMV.VI) said Tuesday that it extended an Austrian natural-gas supply contract with Gazprom PJSC (GAZP.RS) until 2040.

The existing gas-supply contract would have run until 2028, OMV said.

"By 2030 the European Union will have to import more than 80% of its demand for natural gas," said OMV Chief Executive Rainer Seele.

"With the extension of the gas-supply contract, we are making an important contribution to the supply for Austria as well as for other European countries in the light of increasing demand," he said.
