Upcoming third parth wells in Namibia14 Sep 2021 11:07
Total's Venus-1 targeting over 2,000 MMB on block 2913B and Shell's Graff-1 targeting a multi-billion barrel prospect on block 2913A/2914B are both due to spud in Namibia in Q4. Azinam's Gazania-1 targeting 349 MMB is also due to spud Q4 just over the border in SA. Maurel & Prom are also rumored to be drilling Aurora-1 in 2022. Clearly momentum is starting to build in the Namibia area which should drive sentiment in related oil stocks. If one of those wells delivers the goods I would expect a significant uptick in industry interest in Namibia tiddlers like TRP, CHAR and GBP, which may well lead to one or more farm out. GLA
