Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) announced the appointment of petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as strategic advisor. The company is evaluating 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. 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 strengthen its position in Namibia’s Orange Basin, an emerging world-class petroleum province with multiple recent discoveries by major operators. The company’s current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. The addition of Birch is expected to enhance the company’s ability to assess and potentially capitalize on opportunities in the region.
Birch’s background includes extensive experience in exploration geoscience, particularly in the Orange Basin. His involvement in the Venus prospect, which is considered one of the largest discoveries in Africa, underscores his expertise. Oregen Energy’s evaluation of Block 2812Ab could provide the company with a strategic foothold near Venus, potentially unlocking significant value.
The Orange Basin has attracted major oil companies due to its promising geology. Recent discoveries by TotalEnergies, Shell, and other operators have highlighted the basin’s potential. Oregen Energy’s focus on the region aligns with industry trends, as companies seek to expand their presence in underexplored but high-potential areas.
