Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as strategic advisor, as the company evaluates a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin. Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies, and Oregen said his expertise will support exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation and technical positioning related to the block, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway.
The appointment comes as Oregen Energy continues to focus on the Orange Basin, an emerging world-class petroleum province with multiple recent discoveries by major operators. The company's current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. The addition of Birch is expected to enhance the company's technical capabilities as it considers expanding its portfolio in the region.
Birch's experience includes extensive work in the Orange Basin, where he was instrumental in the Venus discovery, one of the largest hydrocarbon finds in recent years. His expertise in subsurface evaluation and exploration strategy will be critical for Oregen as it assesses the potential of Block 2812Ab. The block is located adjacent to the Venus discovery, within the same petroleum fairway, offering significant potential for similar discoveries.
Oregen Energy is an investment company primarily focused on oil and gas assets in Africa. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins. For more information, visit Oregen Energy's website. The full press release is available at this link.
