Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed Philip Birch, a petroleum geoscientist and former Exploration Director at Impact Oil & Gas, as a strategic advisor. The company is evaluating a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, and Birch's expertise will support exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation and technical positioning, according to a company announcement.
Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. The block under consideration sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway, underscoring the strategic importance of the appointment.
Oregen Energy is an investment company primarily focused on oil and gas assets in Africa. Its current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia, an emerging world-class petroleum province with multiple recent discoveries by major operators. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins.
The addition of Birch is expected to enhance Oregen's ability to assess and potentially capitalize on opportunities in this high-potential region. The Orange Basin has garnered significant attention following major discoveries by operators such as TotalEnergies and Shell, positioning Namibia as a new frontier for oil and gas exploration.
This move signals Oregen's commitment to expanding its footprint in the region. The company's existing interest in Block 2712A provides a foundation for further investment, and the potential addition of Block 2812Ab could strengthen its portfolio. For the oil and gas industry, the development underscores the growing importance of the Orange Basin as a key exploration area.
