Chevron and Rhino Resources have filed environmental documents to support what will be two closely watched wildcatting operations offshore Namibia.
The US supermajor and South Africa-based Rhino will fire-up exploration campaigns in the fourth quarter of 2024 or early 2025 on their highly promising acreage in the hydrocarbon-rich Orange basin where, for the first time in around two years, no drilling rigs are currently active.
Chevron is gearing up to drill at least one probe in Block 2813B, north of TotalEnergy-operated acreage that hosts the huge Venus and Mangetti discoveries and west of a licence where Galp Energia recently declared that its Mopane discovery could host in-place resources of 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
