RE:Hunting Mopane…MrMoMnyMgr1995 wrote: TotalEnergies chief executive, Patrick Pouyanne, confirmed to Upstream that the company will mobilise the semi-submersible drilling rig Deepsea Mira to the Orange basin once it completes its current operation in Congo-Brazzaville. Speaking on the sidelines of an ONS 2024 session in Stavanger, he said that TotalEnergies “will drill an exploration well”, but declined to elaborate. However, one well-placed market source subsequently advised Upstream that the well — to be called Tamboti-1X — will be drilled in the northeast of Block 2913B, adding that it would not target the same reservoirs as Venus. Another well-watcher familiar with Namibia also told Upstream that the well is targeting the same geological play that proved so successful in Galp Energia’s Mopane-1X probe in a block just to the northeast. The reservoir at Venus comprises Early Cretaceous sands, while Mopane, according to third-party information, is thought to house Late Cretaceous sands."
