Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as strategic advisor, as the company evaluates a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin. Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies, and 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.
The appointment comes as Oregen Energy continues to expand its footprint in the emerging Orange Basin, an area that has seen multiple major discoveries by operators such as TotalEnergies and Shell. The company holds a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A, another asset in the same basin. Birch's experience in the region is expected to be instrumental in assessing the potential of Block 2812Ab, which is strategically located near the Venus discovery, one of the largest oil finds in sub-Saharan Africa.
Philip Birch is a highly regarded geoscientist with over 30 years of experience in petroleum exploration. He was instrumental in the early identification and evaluation of the Venus prospect while at Impact Oil & Gas, a company that successfully partnered with TotalEnergies to drill the discovery. His addition to Oregen's advisory team signals the company's commitment to leveraging top-tier technical expertise to make informed investment decisions in the region.
Oregen Energy is an investment company primarily focused on oil and gas assets in Africa. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins.
