In a separate announcement, Shell and its partners QatarEnergy and Namcor made an oil discovery in the Orange Basin offshore southern Namibia, following the drilling of the Jonker-1X exploration well.

After drilling to a total depth of 6,168m using the Deepsea Bollsta semi-sub rig, the deepwater exploration well intersected a reservoir with light oil.

Shell Namibia country chair Dennis Zekveld said: “We are encouraged by a further deep-water discovery, our third in Namibia, and pleased to confirm the safe conclusion of the well.

“Jonker again demonstrated the joint venture’s strong commitment to advancing oil and gas exploration in Namibia and to progressing follow-up opportunities after last year’s discoveries.”
