The valuable local crude oil is produced efficiently and with low emissions using elaborate technical processes.
Highlighting and designing innovative solutions for the energy industry of the future: our subsurface engineering expertise, technological capabilities and innovative capacity have allowed us to develop sustainable energy production approaches. And crude oil plays a significant part in this. There is still no substitute for valuable domestic oil – and this is unlikely to change any time soon. Crude oil is the base material for countless products and technologies that currently play a dominant role in our everyday lives and will continue to do so in future. In contrast to producing synthetic natural gas, synthetic oil production is very complex and expensive. So sustainability, efficiency and sparing application are vital in the production and use of crude oil. Local production also makes a major contribution to boosting security of supply.

Sustainable circular economy
Crude oil should be used carefully for specific applications where it is essential. The focus needs to be on recycling, not disposal. Recycling high-value plastics reduces Austria’s dependence on imports, protects the environment and is a key element of a sustainable circular economy. The addition of oil components enables high-quality recycling, and in turn – as far as possible – a sustainable, uninterrupted material cycle.
Crude oil will be used primarily as an indispensable raw material in industrial manufacturing and as an integral part of high-quality, everyday products.
“We see domestic oil production as ‘sustainable material mining': eco-friendly production of a valuable raw material – crude oil – integrated into a sophisticated circular economy.”

„Sustainable Material Mining“
REP GmbH’s production of crude oil reflects its commitment to meeting its responsibilities as part of a sustainable energy and raw material future. The emphasis is on sustainable material production: eco-friendly production of a valuable raw material – crude oil – integrated into a sophisticated circular economy. Efficient reuse of disused and depleted reservoirs for renewable energy storage or geothermal projects also forms part of REP GmbH’s sustainability strategy.
“We always consider subsequent use for renewable energy as part of every project.”
