Namibia-the #2 TOP oil discovery prospect in the whole worldFrom OP today:
"
- Aurora (Namibia)
The first ever deep-water wildcat drilled in Namibia’s offshore waters produced the largest oil discovery of 2022, with Venus establishing itself as a major find comparable to ExxonMobil’s 2015 Liza discovery. Followed through with Shell’s Graff discovery in an exploration well drilled simultaneously to Venus, the next step will see other producers joining the hype and spudding their wells in other license blocks. A French firm specializing in African upstream operations Maurel & Prom might be opening up another frontier in Namibia, spudding the Aurora wildcat this year – further out in the sea (190 km from Walvis Bay) and in relatively shallower waters (1250 m). Despite the differences, geologically Aurora should be similar to Venus, considering it is located in the license block just above TotalEnergies’ 2913B block, so in case the exploration well does hit commercial volumes of oil, it is going to be big."
