Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as strategic advisor, the company announced. Birch, who played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies, will support Oregen's exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation and technical positioning related to Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia.
The appointment comes as Oregen evaluates a potential investment in Block 2812Ab, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway. The block is located in one of the most prospective emerging hydrocarbon provinces globally, with multiple recent discoveries by major operators.
Philip Birch brings extensive experience in frontier exploration, particularly in Africa. His tenure at Impact Oil & Gas involved leading the technical team that identified and matured the Venus prospect, a major discovery that has significantly de-risked the Orange Basin. Birch's expertise is expected to be instrumental in assessing the geological and commercial potential of Block 2812Ab.
Oregen Energy is an investment company primarily focused on oil and gas assets in Africa. The company's 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 Orange Basin has emerged as a world-class petroleum province following several significant discoveries, including TotalEnergies' Venus find and Shell's Graff-1 discovery. These successes have attracted the attention of both major oil companies and junior explorers, positioning Namibia as a key frontier for offshore exploration.
By appointing Birch, Oregen aims to leverage his deep understanding of the basin's geology and exploration history to make informed decisions regarding Block 2812Ab. The strategic advisory role will involve evaluating technical data, assessing risk, and developing a roadmap for potential investment.
