2813A 区块 (PEL 83)
Galp (80%，运营商)、NAMCOR (10%) 和 Custos Energy Ltd (10%) 已成功钻探、取芯和记录 Mopane-1A 评估井 (井号 3)，该井于 2024 年 10 月 23 日开钻，并于 2024 年 11 月 28 日完井。Mopane

1A 井在优质含油储层砂中遇到了轻质油和气凝析油，再次表明了良好的孔隙度、高渗透率和高压，以及低油粘度特性，CO2 浓度最低，不含 H2S。

这些评估井与 Mopane-1X（井号 1）和 Mopane-2X（井号 2）的发现一起，证实了 AVO-1 的延伸和质量。因此，Galp 及其合作伙伴将继续分析和整合所有新获得的数据。

此外，PEL83 的 Mopane 2A 井（井号 4）于 2024 年 12 月 2 日开钻，在 AVO-3 中发现了气凝析油，在 AVO-4 中发现了碳氢化合物液体。

作为在更广泛的 Mopane 地区正在进行的勘探和评估活动的一部分，钻井船现已于 2025 年 1 月 2 日开钻 Mopane-3X 勘探井位置（井号 5），钻探作业正在进行中。与此同时，合资公司正在 Mopane 综合体上开展高密度、高分辨率专有 3D 开发地震活动。

随着最近在纳米比亚橙色盆地近海发现轻质油，NAMCOR 看到潜在的上游石油和天然气投资者的兴趣日益浓厚。为了服务客户，NAMCOR 继续为客户设立数据室，以便他们评估和评估非专有勘探数据集，以寻找与现有土地持有者进行潜在收购的机会，并通过矿业和能源部申请许可证。

总之，纳米比亚的石油和天然气行业正在取得长足进步，在产量丰沛的奥兰治盆地中，有多个高影响力油井、评估研究和地震活动，该盆地是全球关注的热点，反映了其巨大的碳氢化合物潜力。显著的进展包括对 Venus (PEL 56) 和 Mopane (PEL 83) 等产量丰沛的油田的评估，以及新的勘探计划，例如在 PEL 56、83、85 和 90 进行的钻探以及目前正在进行的开发研究。

The National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia; NAMCOR, is pleased to announce important updates regarding offshore exploration, appraisal and development activities on Blocks 2814 (PL003), 2913A & 2914B (PEL 39), 2913B (PEL 56), 2813A (PEL 83), 2914A (PEL 85), 2813B (PEL 90) located in the offshore Orange Basin, one of the world’s most promising oil and gas regions.

Block 2913B (PEL 56)
TotalEnergies (50.5%, Operator), QatarEnergy (30%), Impact Oil and Gas Namibia (Pty) Ltd (9.5%) and NAMCOR (10%) as joint venture partners (JV) are currently progressing with extensive post well studies of the cores, logging data and fluid samples acquired from the Venus wells and will continue through 2025. The JV are now progressing with fast tracking the development studies of a potential Venus development.

In addition, the spudding of the Tamboti-1X exploration well commenced on the October 2024. Drilling operations are currently ongoing. Finally, technical evaluation on the block maturation and prospectivity are ongoing for further exploration and appraisal activities.

Block 2813A (PEL 83)
Galp (80%, Operator), NAMCOR (10%) and Custos Energy Ltd (10%) has successfully drilled, cored, and logged the Mopane-1A appraisal well (Well #3) which was spud on 23rd of October 2024 and completed on 28th November 2024.

Mopane 1A well encountered light oil and gas-condensate in high quality reservoirbearing sands, once again indicating good porosities, high permeabilities, and high pressures, as well as low oil viscosity characteristics with minimum CO2 and no H2S concentrations.

Together with the Mopane-1X (Well #1) and Mopane-2X (Well #2) findings, these appraisal wells confirm the extension and quality of AVO-1. Therefore, Galp and its partners will continue to analyse and integrate all new acquired data.

Additionally, Mopane 2A well (Well #4) in PEL83, which spudded on 2nd December 2024 encountered gas-condensate in AVO-3 and hydrocarbon liquids in AVO-4.

As part of the ongoing exploration and appraisal campaign in the wider Mopane area, the drillship has now spudded the Mopane-3X exploration well location (Well #5) on the 2nd of January 2025 and drilling operations are ongoing. In parallel, the JV is conducting a high-density and high-resolution proprietary 3D development seismic campaign over the Mopane complex.

2813B (PEL 90)
Chevron Namibia Exploration Ltd (80% operator), NAMCOR (10%) and TRAGO (10%) completed drilling the exploration well Kapana-1X in the frontier basin of the Orange Basin early January 2025. While operations reached total depth ahead of plan, the well did not find commercial hydrocarbons. The operations, however, did provide valuable information on important aspects of the basin and our effective and efficient execution increases our confidence in our future program on PEL 90.

The Joint Venture will incorporate the well results and anticipate future exploration activity in Namibia.

2914A (PEL 85)
Rhino Resources (42.5%, Operator), Azule Energy (42.5%), NAMCOR (10%) and Korres (5%) as joint venture partners continue to progress with the drilling activities of the Sagittarius-1X exploration, the first in a multi-well programme. The exploration well was spud on 18th December 2024 using the Noble Venturer Drillship and is expected to take 45 days to complete.

Block 2814 Kudu discovery (PL003)
BW Kudu Ltd (95% operator), NAMCOR (5% with a further 5% back-in right) are committed to developing the gas to power project which will serve as a national strategic project to solve the energy need for Namibia and its neighbours. The JV is on course to submit the field development plan to the Ministry of Mines and Energy by Q2 2025. In addition, the JV is currently preparing for an appraisal drilling campaign of up to two wells of which the long lead items have already been purchased ahead of a Q3 2025 spud date.

Block 2913A & 2914B (PEL 39)
Shell Namibia (45%, Operator), QatarEnergy (45%) and NAMCOR (10%) as joint venture partners are currently progressing with an extensive post well studies of the cores and fluid samples acquired from the Jonker, Enigma and Graff wells to improve the understanding of the reservoirs and expand that knowledge to other potential opportunities on the block. These studies will continue through 2025.

NAMCOR Technical Studies
NAMCOR as custodian of Namibia’s hydrocarbon exploration data is conducting inhouse Geological, Geophysical and Engineering studies to enhance subsurface knowledge on the hydrocarbon prospectivity offshore and onshore Namibia to provide such information to potential investors to allow them to make informed decisions. Additionally, these studies allow NAMCOR to continue safeguarding its interest in the Petroleum Exploration Licenses on behalf of the Namibian Government.

Furthermore, following the recent light oil discoveries offshore Namibia’s Orange basin, NAMCOR has seen increasing interest from potential Upstream Oil and Gas investors. To service its clients, NAMCOR continues to host data rooms for clients to assess and evaluate non-proprietary exploration datasets for potential farm-ins opportunities with existing acreage holders and licence application through the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

In conclusions, Namibia's oil and gas sector is advancing significantly, with multiple high-impact wells, appraisal studies, and seismic campaigns in the prolific Orange Basin which stands out as a hotspot of global attention, reflecting its tremendous hydrocarbon potential. Notable progress includes the appraisal of prolific fields like Venus (PEL 56) and Mopane (PEL 83) and new exploration initiatives such as ongoing drilling in PELs 56, 83, 85, and 90 and the currently ongoing development studies.
