At Extreme Investor Network, we are always on the lookout for the latest developments in the oil and gas industry that have the potential to shake up the market. Recently, Portuguese oil company Galp Energia made waves with its announcement regarding the Mopane field off the coast of Namibia.
Galp revealed that it had successfully completed the first phase of exploration in the Mopane field and estimated that it could hold a staggering 10 billion barrels of oil. This is a significant discovery that could have far-reaching implications for the company’s future prospects.
Testing operations at the Mopane-1X and Mopane-2X wells yielded promising results, with significant light oil columns discovered in high-quality reservoir sands. The flows achieved during the tests reached the maximum allowed limit of 14 thousand barrels per day, indicating the commercial potential of the Mopane field.
With an 80% stake in Petroleum Exploration Licence 83 (PEL 83), which covers nearly 10,000 square kilometres in the Orange Basin, Galp is well-positioned to capitalize on this discovery. Namibia could become a new source of revenue for the company, complementing its existing investments in Brazil and Mozambique.
Furthermore, Namibia’s potential as an oil-producing nation has not gone unnoticed by the OPEC+ oil producers group, which is eyeing the country for possible membership in the future. As Galp looks to attract additional investors to its projects in Namibia, the stage is set for exciting developments in the region.
