Exploring for offshore oil and gas in the Orange Basin
Shell is in the early stages of exploring for offshore oil and gas in Petroleum Exploration License 39 (PEL 39) with its JV partners, QatarEnergy (45% participating interest) and NAMCOR, the national oil company of Namibia (10%).
Eduardo Rodriguez, Country Chair of Shell Nambia"Together with our JV partners we’re working hard to understand the potential of our license and invest in local goods, services and skills across all our operations here in Namibia."
Shell and its JV partners have drilled exploration and appraisal wells across its license in deep water more than 250kms from shore.
The PEL0039 license covers 12,000sq km which is more than twice the size of Namibia’s capital city Windhoek.
Over the last three years, nine wells have been drilled in the license: Graff-1X, La Rona-1X, Jonker-1X, Graff-1A, Lesedi-1X, Cullinan-1X, Jonker-1A, Jonker-2A and Enigma-1X.
