More oil found off Namibian coast
Staff Reporter
THE National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR), in partnership with Shell and QatarEnergy, announced today oil has been discovered in the Jonker-1X deep-water exploration well.
According to NAMCOR, the well was drilled in Block 2913A & 2914B (PEL0039) in the Orange Basin, offshore of southern Namibia. The drilling operations commenced in December 2022 and were completed safely in early March 2023.
The discovery is located approximately 270 kilometres off the coast of Namibia and is the third well drilled on the license held by Shell within a year.
Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Bollsta semi-submersible rig drilled the well to a total depth of 6,168 meters in a water depth of 2,210 meters. The acquired data is currently being evaluated, and further appraisal drilling is planned to determine the size and recoverable resource potential of the discovery.
"NAMCOR would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our partners Shell (Operator) and Qatar Energy for safely drilling the Jonker-1X deep-water well. The encouraging results from the well are a geological testimony to the huge hydrocarbon potential in the deep-water play of the Orange Basin. We look forward to the appraisal activities and our collaborative relationship with our joint venture partners and our shareholder, the Government of the Republic of Namibia, to fully assess the commerciality of this major oil discovery," NAMCOR Executive of Upstream Exploration, Victoria Sibeya stated.
Immanuel Mulunga, managing director of NAMCOR, said that the entity is delighted to announce this third oil discovery after the success of the Graff-1X and Venus-1X discoveries by Shell and Total Energies in 2022. "This discovery has proven the exciting and world-class potential of the deep-water Orange Basin," he concluded.
The Joint enture group comprises of Shell Namibia B.V owning 45% of shares, QatarEnergy 45% and NAMCOR owning 10%.
