Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as a strategic advisor, the company announced. The move comes as Oregen evaluates a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, a region that has seen multiple recent discoveries by major operators.
Birch, a petroleum geoscientist, played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. Oregen said his expertise will support exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation and technical positioning related to the block, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway.
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, described by the company as an emerging world-class petroleum province. The addition of Birch is expected to strengthen Oregen's ability to assess and potentially acquire interests in the region.
The appointment underscores the growing interest in Namibia's offshore potential, particularly in the Orange Basin, where multiple discoveries have been made by international oil companies. Birch's experience with the Venus prospect, one of the largest discoveries in the basin, could provide valuable insights for Oregen's evaluation of Block 2812Ab.
