CHAPTER – 1 INTRODUCTION OF STUDY 1.1
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
An internship is an academic requirement at Institute of Management Studies, University of Peshawar for the students of Bachelor of Business istration who has recently finished studying and after completion of internship a report on that internship has to be submitted under the guidance of a supervisor. As internship means; “the practical work experience in a job after the completion of the studying. So after studying various subjects theoretically a student must know about their practical implementation in an organization. So to fulfill this requirement I remain as an internee at OMV Group, Main Head Office Islamabad, for eight weeks. After that I prepared this report on the basis of knowledge, which I previously had, and especially from working in OMV during my internship. Also I tried to evaluate and analyze performance of the bank shown in this report with its strengths, weaknesses, threats, opportunities, problems and recommendations etc. it also contain other information about OMV Group as a part of report. 1.2
PURPOSE OF STUDY
Internship and preparing report’s purpose is to observe, analyze and collect relevant data about an organization and to judge my abilities and skills developed during studying and how much am I capable to apply theoretical knowledge in the practical working which result in gaining experience. Also it enhances communication skills. Shortly its purpose is to increase knowledge and skill and to collect relevant data and information about OMV Group to prepare internship report more completely, precisely and more effectively. The ultimate goal of this entire process and study is to prepare myself for job and working in real life.

Various functional areas and many aspects of operation of the company has been covered in this report but it was very difficult to cover all the departments in such a short period of time because like other oil industry OMV Group is also a very busy place and big organization whose staff cannot give mere time to internees. Also due to company own rules and regulations and security and secrets there were some things about which we did not get aware. Although I worked in some departments, including record keeping, assistant record etc but my much focus was on banks operations employees’ behavior and performance which is related to my specialization field that is HR.
1.4
REPORT PREPARING METHODOLOGY
The most important task for compiling the report is the relevant and valid data which I collected in the form of quality information about the organization through different techniques. So in methodology of this report I adopted both sources of data collection that is primary data collection and secondary data collection. The primary data was collected through techniques of interviews with manager, discussions and coordination with the executive and officers, and other staff’s personal observation and different types of written material from Company. The sources of secondary data were annual report, record of departments and manuals. I also got some important information when ever needed from internet like history of OMV Group etc.
1.5
LIMITATIONS
Although I tried my best to carry out my internship program in better way but there are certain limitations in writing this report. I faced certain problems, first being the time duration; only two months are not sufficient to understand the functions of all the departments of the organization.

Another problem was scarcity of written material and the element of secrecy, due to which; I could not get access to all areas. Although they were very cooperative but still I faced great hardship in gathering information and understanding of procedures. For this purpose I studied few previous reports on OMV Group to complete my report.

CHAPTER-2 OVERVIEW OF ORGANIZATION
Energy Overview
Pakistan’s economy is growing at very steady rate and this growth is demanding higher energy consumption and thus putting a huge pressure over countries limited energy recourses. Oil, natural gas and hydro are tree primary energy resources of the country which are being exploited for fulfilling energy demand of the economy. But due to limited reserve of oil and gas with in country and political nature of hydel energy, has forced country to import large quantity of oil and oil related products from middle east especially Saudi Arabia. Share of natural gas in countries energy use is the largest about 50 percent of the total consumption and within coming years without higher production and critical situation of current Gas reserves country has to look towards imported gas from some neighboring countries to fulfill its increasing gas requirement. Although country is blessed with huge potential of hydel energy yet due to local political situation this is not being exploited to its full extent. Below is primary energy overview of country [EIA 2012].

Pakistan’s Oil Sector
According to Oil and Gas Journal (OGJ), Pakistan had proven oil reserves of 300 million barrels as of January 2011. The majority of produced oil comes from proven reserves located in the Southern Indus Basin. Additional producing field are located in the middle and upper Indus Basin [EIA, 2012].
Background
Pakistan has been considered a petroleum province. First well was drilled in 1866 at kundal in the upper region of Indus valley. Shallow well was drilled in 1866 at Kundal in the following years, and 1886 small scale production of oil started in Khattan (Balucation). In 1915, the first series of commercial oil discovery was made in the Potwar Basin (Punjab). In 1960,s Oil Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) was created by the government of Pakistan, which provided successful track in discovery of oil and gas reserves with in country. After the oil crisis in 1973, a number of impressive discoveries were made both by the private sector and OGDCL. In June, 2010, initial recoverable gas reserves are much more modest with initial recoverable reserves of 844 million bbl. and a reaming balance of 309 million bbl. [EIA, 2010].
Current Supply and Demand Situation of Oil Sector Since the late 1980s, Pakistan has not experienced many new oil fields coming online. As a result, oil production has remained fairly flat, at around 60,000 barrels per day. During the first eleven months of 2010, Pakistan produced an average of 58,000 bbl/d of crude oil. However Pakistan has ambitious plans to increase its current output to 10,000bbl/d by 2012. Due to
Institute Institute of Management study University of Peshawar

Pakistan modest oil production, country is dependent on oil import to satisfy domestic oil demand. As November 2006, Pakistan had consumed approx. 350 thousand barrels of oil and imports come from Middle East, with Saudi Arabia as lead importer [World Bank Report] In recent years, the combination of rising oil consumption and flat oil production in Pakistan has led to rising oil imports from Middle East exporter. In addition, the lack of refining has led to rising oil imports from Middle East exporters. In addition the lack of refining capacity leaves Pakistan heavily dependent on petroleum product imports. Natural gas for the largest share of Pakistan’s energy use amounting to about 50 percent of total energy consumption. Pakistan currently consumes its entire domestic natural gas importer. As a result Pakistan is exploring several pipeline and LNG import option to meet expected growth in natural gas demand [World Bank Report]

Chapter- 3 Overview of Department Operation and Maintenance Department Introduction Effective O&M is one of the most cost-effective methods for ensuring reliability, safety and energy efficiency. Inadequate maintenance of energy using systems is a major cause of energy waste in both by Government and private sector. Energy losses from uninsulated lines, maladjusted or inoperable controls, and other losses from poor maintenance are often considerable. Good maintenance practices can generate substantial energy saving and should be consider a resource. More over improvement to facility maintenance programs can often be accomplished immediately and at a relatively low cost. Definitions O&M are the decisions and actions regarding the control and upkeep of property and equipment. These are inclusive but no limit to, the following: 1) action focused on scheduling, procedures, and work/system control and optimization; and 2) performance of routine, preventive, predictive, scheduled and unscheduled actions aimed at preventing equipment failure or decline with the goal of increasing efficiency, reliability, and safety. Operational Efficiency represents the life cycle, cost effective mix of preventive, predictive and reliability centered maintenance technology, coupled with equipment calibration, tracking, and computerized maintenance management capabilities all targeting reliability, safety and system efficiency. Operations and Maintenance Department is the largest department in OMV. Its plays a very significant and critical role in oil industry. Its aims to achieve excellence in performance by providing “Zero Defective” repair and maintenance services of highest standards to company’s internal and external customers. Following are different sections in Operations dept.:

Enough physical facilities are provided to its employees in the H.O in order to facilitate the performance of its employees.
WEAKNESSES Much competition is faced by OMV internationally/globally. Security issues are faced by OMV in Pakistan. Cafeteria has limited space as numbers of office based employees are more than 150 &cafeteria only covers across 30-40 employees at a time. There is no formulized criterion for reserve to production ratio, which can compare their performance with the past. Company is unaware of the importance of Marketing in the success of one company. High employee turnover Non-Corporative culture
OPPORTUNITIES
Substantial unproven gas and oil reserves exist in Pakistan. Inflationary trend in the prices of oil in the international markets. Massive consumer market. Ever rising demand of gas due to changing attitude of people. Technological improvements Moving forward in cooperation with other of OMV GROUP. Building a refinery group in central & eastern Europe Improving efficiency in all areas of refining & marketing activities. Strengthening the sustainability approach as part of our business operations.
THREATS
Global trends are rapidly changing which might affect its performance. Any decrease in future oil and gas prices may prove to be a great threat for OMV. Fear of unproductive well is a source of threat for OMV. Law and order situation, economic situation in Pakistan is faulty that is MOL have a bigger security threats. The biggest threat, right now to OMV is from Government policies.
Institute Institute of Management study University of Peshawar

The big threat to OMV is the increasing new competitors. They can compete with them by maintaining its standards and also by expanding. Understanding and the effective management of the human resources is the most difficult challenge faced not only by the OMV but by all the organizations. Even though the people have been sacrificed in the new organizational developments, it is becoming clear that the true lasting competitive advantage comes through human resources and how they are managed. Now the world is a global village so competitors may rise from anywhere in the world at anytime. The merit of recruitment is low as internally reference base employee is selected, ignoring young and talent people.

Recommendations Although the working with the OMV is really good but there is always some room for improvement. After working in OMV as an intern, based on my experience & observation regarding the operations and policies of OMV, I have tried to stipulate some recommendations for further improvement; Measures should be taken to resolve internal conflicts (office politics) so that work environment remains smooth and calm. There should be a proper coordination between the coworkers, so that the desired results could be achieved. Flexibility should be there in the work environment or working timing to some extent. Right people should be hired for the respective job.. To improve the services and to remove the problems of staff & employees by making a spread staff & employees complaint department.. Keep the up to date information on OMV web sites. IT draw backs should be improved. istration drawbacks should be improved by the strict control of general issues Instead of preferring the old employees, management should hire new and well-educated talent. This will contribute to the long-term benefits of the OMV. Employees who perform extraordinary and achieve more than their targets should be given bonuses. OMV should arrange some seminars to make its visions and objectives, clear to everyone. The employees in the organization should be insured job security so that there is no pressure on the employees while performing their tasks. The fresh hiring should be made permanent so that they are secured of their future. Further the allowances and perquisites attached with the permanent jobs will also increase the motivation level of the employees. The number of allowances and perquisites for the employees should be increased to ensure that they put their body and soul in the jobs assigned to them.

If OMV follow these guideline it can create strong identity & achieve new ways of success and OMV can also achieve their objective vision and mission my conclusion and recommendation is based on my finding which I gather during internship period personnel observation and data which I gather both primary source and secondary source OMV has to overcome their weakness and avail the opportunity to create a strong image worldwide.
Conclusion: OMV is an international company which clearly focuses on its work and provides lot of faculties and benefits to its employees. Today OMV has a powerful presence in world markets, building on a tradition of stimulating international trade. This company maximizes value for their customer, staff & employees, while maximizing value for their shareholders as the ultimate proof of, and condition for, success. OMV engaged the services of Access Consulting to develop a complete HRM system based on sound policies in the light of their challenges in the mining operations. It have to
Access Consulting helped in the following areas; Development of
Organization Structure, Development of Job Descriptions & Job Specs (Management & Technical), Development of Human Resource Management System, Development of Performance Management System, Salary Survey (Management & Technical Positions), Training needs Assessment. Thus it can be concluded that the OMV should try to fulfill the expectations of the customers to the best possible level. But competition and market instability can never be ignored and have to be taken care of. Survival of the fittest can only be achieved through innovation and technological capabilities.
