This three-day workshop will feature a series of presentations focused on showcasing Namibia’s exciting journey to major oil and gas discoveries detailing the deep-water play, its current understanding, and future potential.
Despite various exploration efforts over the past years, it has become apparent that there is a considerable need for revisiting the Cretaceous plays of the Orange Basin, and potentially, other Namibian offshore basins.
The results of recent drilling activities have turned Namibia’s Orange Basin into a global hotspot for exploration activities, with multiple rigs currently operating offshore Namibia. The association of multiple successive, world-class deep-water discoveries in the Orange Basin, has further proven to be game changers for Namibia’s upstream industry.
Namibia is now termed as a promising frontier margin, with the recent discoveries opening a new play fairway in the Orange basin.
Workshop Objectives
This workshop aims to enhance the outcomes of the 2022 AAPG Namibia GTW by offering in-depth analysis of the onshore and offshore geology and, to describe the proven and potential petroleum systems. It will present the integration of data from seismic, geological, and geophysical data to better understand and describe the proven and potential petroleum systems. Professionals, scholars, and industry enthusiasts will be able to give talks and exhibit posters with excellent, comprehensive, and creative data on the considerably reduced-risk petroleum systems of Namibia’s frontier basins. By enhancing regional knowledge of tectonic evolution, geology, and structure, these data hope to shed light on these basin’s prospectivity.
Participants are expected to leave with knowledge and exposure to the following:
-
Proven and possible petroleum systems of Namibia uncovering the transformational potential of the Orange Basin
-
Regional understanding of sedimentary & tectonic evolution, providing new insights regarding the prospectivity of these basins.
-
Deep water reservoirs: Reservoir distribution their depositional architecture and controls on reservoir quality
-
Challenges of deep-water exploration the evolving trend of African deep-water exploration
-
Current and projected exploration and appraisal activities in the Orange Basin
Benefits of Attending
The workshop is an opportunity for attendees to receive up-to-date knowledge about the recent deep-water discoveries, talks will be focused on understanding the proven petroleum systems and exploration plays that have been identified in recent exploration activities. It is an opportunity to network and share experiences.
