Fossil Energy – Namibia

Portuguese oil and gas company Galp has reported preliminary signs of hydrocarbon presence in an exploration well being drilled offshore Namibia.

Galp initiated the drilling campaign in PEL 83, offshore Namibia, on November 17, 2023.

The first well, Mopane-1X, indicates preliminary signs of hydrocarbon presence, Gulp informed in an operations update.

“Drilling and data acquisition campaigns are underway, making any conclusion premature before operations are completed and results assessed,” Galp said.
