Oregen Energy Appoints Former Impact Oil & Gas Executive Philip Birch as Strategic Advisor for Namibia Offshore Block
Oregen Energy Corp. has appointed petroleum geoscientist Philip Birch, who played a key role in the Venus discovery, as strategic advisor to evaluate a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab, adjacent to a major oil find.
Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) announced the appointment of petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as strategic advisor. Birch will support the company as it evaluates a potential investment in Namibia’s offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, a region that has emerged as a world-class petroleum province.
Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. His expertise will be instrumental in shaping Oregen’s exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation, and technical positioning related to Block 2812Ab, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway. The appointment signals Oregen’s intention to deepen its involvement in the Orange Basin, where multiple major discoveries have been made by operators such as TotalEnergies and Shell.
The Orange Basin has become a hotspot for oil exploration, with recent discoveries highlighting its potential as a significant hydrocarbon province. Block 2812Ab is strategically located near these discoveries, offering Oregen a chance to capitalize on the region's geological promise. Birch’s track record with Impact Oil & Gas, where he was instrumental in the Venus discovery, adds credibility to Oregen’s efforts to assess and potentially develop this block.
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. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins, indicating a strategic focus on this emerging petroleum province.
The appointment of Birch comes at a time when Namibia is attracting significant attention from global energy companies. The Venus discovery by TotalEnergies and other finds have positioned the country as a promising frontier for oil and gas exploration. For Oregen, securing Birch’s expertise could be pivotal in making informed investment decisions and potentially unlocking value from Block 2812Ab.
