犀牛资源公司（Rhino Resources）和哈里伯顿公司（Halliburton）宣布，在纳米比亚近海85号石油勘探许可证（PEL）内的2914区块交付两口勘探井。这两口勘探井是首批完全通过哈里伯顿公司位于鲸湾港、斯瓦科普蒙德和吕德里茨的作业基地，利用国内基础设施完成的勘探井。

Rhino Resources首席执行官特拉维斯·史密瑟德（Travis Smithard）表示：“在钻探活动开始时，我们就与合作伙伴沟通，Rhino在纳米比亚的勘探工作应同时证明其地质潜力，并为该国带来长期利益。2914区块的发现为这一旅程开了个好头，将为我们为纳米比亚蓬勃发展的油气行业奠定基础。”

Rhino Resources and Halliburton announced the delivery of two exploration wells on Block 2914 within Petroleum Exploration License (PEL) 85 offshore Namibia. These exploration wells are the first to be completed entirely from in-country infrastructure through Halliburton’s operational bases in Walvis Bay, Swakopmund and Lüderitz.

“At the onset of the drilling campaign, we communicated to our partners that Rhino’s exploration efforts in Namibia should simultaneously prove geological potential and deliver long-term benefits for the country. The discoveries on Block 2914 are a promising start to this journey, which will contribute to the foundation we are laying for Namibia’s burgeoning oil and gas industry,” said Travis Smithard, CEO of Rhino Resources.
