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, 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. At Oregen, his expertise will support exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation and technical positioning related to the block. The Venus discovery, made by TotalEnergies in 2022, is one of the largest oil finds in sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting the potential of the Orange Basin as an emerging world-class petroleum province.
Oregen Energy is an investment company primarily focused on oil and gas assets in Africa. Its current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins.
The appointment of Birch comes as Oregen deepens its involvement in the region. The Orange Basin has attracted significant attention from major operators, with multiple recent discoveries by companies such as TotalEnergies, Shell and QatarEnergy. Oregen's Block 2812Ab is strategically located near these discoveries, potentially offering significant upside.
