Oregen Energy Hires Former Impact Oil & Gas Executive to Advise on Namibia Offshore Block
Oregen Energy Corp. appoints Philip Birch as strategic advisor to evaluate a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab, adjacent to the major Venus discovery, leveraging his expertise in the region's petroleum systems.
Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as a strategic advisor. The company is evaluating a potential investment in Namibia’s offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, a region that has attracted significant attention following major discoveries by international oil companies.
Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. His expertise will support 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 commitment to expanding its footprint in the Orange Basin, an emerging world-class petroleum province.
Oregen 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, where multiple recent discoveries by major operators have underscored the basin's potential. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins.
The strategic addition of Birch comes as Namibia's offshore sector gains momentum. The Venus discovery, operated by TotalEnergies, is one of the largest finds in recent years, with estimated recoverable resources exceeding 2 billion barrels. Block 2812Ab, adjacent to this discovery, offers Oregen a chance to participate in a high-potential area that has already proven its hydrocarbon-bearing capacity.
Industry analysts note that the Orange Basin is attracting increasing interest from both established players and smaller companies seeking to capitalize on the region's exploration upside. Oregen's move to secure Birch's expertise reflects a broader trend of companies leveraging experienced personnel to navigate complex geological and regulatory environments.
