纳米比亚国有石油公司 NAMCOR 3 月 6 日表示，与合作伙伴壳牌和卡塔尔能源公司在纳米比亚南部近海奥兰治盆地的 Jonker-1X 深水勘探井中发现了第三个石油发现。

新发现可能使欧佩克成员国安哥拉的南部邻国纳米比亚成为非洲大西洋沿岸的另一个石油生产国。

NAMCOR 董事总经理 Immanuel Mulunga 在一份声明中表示：“继壳牌和 TotalEnergies 于 2022 年成功发现 Graff-1X 和 Venus-1X 后，我们很高兴宣布第三次发现石油。”

声明称，正在评估所获得的数据，并计划进一步进行评估钻探，以确定发现的规模和潜力。

壳牌纳米比亚公司和卡塔尔能源公司各持有该合资企业45%的股份，而国有企业NAMCOR则持有10%的股份。 

Namibia's state-owned oil company NAMCOR has made a third oil discovery with partners Shell and QatarEnergy in the Jonker-1X deepwater exploration well, in the Orange Basin offshore southern Namibia, it said on March 6.

New discoveries could make Namibia, the southern neighbor of OPEC member Angola, another oil producer along the African Atlantic coast.

"We are delighted to announce this third oil discovery after the success of the Graff-1X and Venus-1X discoveries by Shell and TotalEnergies in 2022," Immanuel Mulunga, managing director of NAMCOR, said in a statement.

The acquired data is being evaluated, and further appraisal drilling is planned to determine the size and potential of the discovery, the statement said.

Shell Namibia B.V and QatarEnergy each hold a 45% stake in the joint venture while state-owned NAMCOR has 10%.
