UK-headquartered energy giant Shell has made a new oil discovery in an exploration well offshore Namibia with Northern Ocean’s Deepsea Bollsta semi-submersible drilling rig. This is the third oil discovery in Namibia since February 2022.
The light oil discovery was made in the Jonker-1X deepwater exploration well in the PEL-39 exploration license, which is located 270 km offshore Namibia. The drilling operations started in December 2022 and were safely concluded in recent days, according to QatarEnergy, which is one of Shell’s partners in this licence.
The PEL-39 exploration license is held by a consortium comprised of Shell (operator with a 45 per cent interest), QatarEnergy (45 per cent working interest), and the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) (10 per cent working interest).
