VIENNA (Reuters) - Austrian oil and gas group OMV <OMVV.VI> posted a 31 percent rise in its third-quarter adjusted operating profit, helped by a production start-up in Abu Dhabi and higher oil prices.

Clean current cost of supplies (CCS) earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), which excludes special items and inventory gains or losses, came in at 1.05 billion euros(936.90 million pounds), above an average forecast of 929 million euros in a Reuters poll of analysts.

($1 = 0.8819 euros)
