This is the latest on Namibia, push on with this and we could see a drilling in 2027-
Key Data and Geological Insights per Block (As of late 2025):
PEL 97 (Cooper Block - Block 2012A):
Data: 1,450 km of 2D seismic data and 1,100 km² of processed/interpreted 3D seismic data.
Prospects: A defined Cretaceous Stratigraphic Trap drilling prospect named "Osprey" (882 million barrels of oil) has been identified within the Albian/Aptian sand-filled channel system.
Status: An Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) was issued in June 2025 for planned seismic activities.
PEL 99 (Sharon Block - Block 2213):
Data: 473 km of 2012 Western Seismic 2D data, 1,012 km of 2014 PGS 2D seismic, and an 870 km² 3D seismic survey (on the Guy Block area).
Prospects: Identifies "look-alike" leads to the Venus and Graff discoveries (above the Albian unconformity).
Status: As of September 2025, Eco is planning a new 1,000 km² 3D seismic survey to further define these leads.
PEL 100 (Tamar Block - Blocks 2211B and 2311A):
Data: Licensed access to 1,324 km of 2D seismic data (acquired August 2024).
Targets: Deepwater Cretaceous channels and fans.
Status: Similar to PEL 99, this block is slated for 3D seismic in 2026.
