Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has 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, and Birch’s 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.
Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. His appointment underscores Oregen’s commitment to leveraging top-tier expertise as it explores opportunities in the Orange Basin, an emerging world-class petroleum province with multiple recent discoveries by major operators. The company currently holds a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A in the same basin.
“We are thrilled to welcome Philip Birch to our advisory team,” said a company spokesperson. “His deep knowledge of the Orange Basin and his track record in identifying significant prospects will be invaluable as we assess new opportunities.” Birch’s experience includes extensive work in frontier exploration, particularly in offshore Namibia, where he contributed to the discovery of one of the largest oil finds in recent years.
The Orange Basin has attracted significant attention from major oil companies due to its potential for large hydrocarbon accumulations. The Venus discovery by TotalEnergies and other finds have highlighted the basin’s prospectivity. Oregen’s potential investment in Block 2812Ab positions the company to capitalize on this emerging trend.
