Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has announced the appointment of Philip Birch, a petroleum geoscientist and former Exploration Director at Impact Oil & Gas, as a strategic advisor. The move comes as the company evaluates a potential investment in Namibia’s offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, a region that has seen significant recent discoveries by major operators.
Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. His expertise will be instrumental in supporting Oregen’s exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation, and technical positioning related to Block 2812Ab, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway. The appointment underscores Oregen’s commitment to leveraging top-tier talent to advance its interests in the Orange Basin, 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, and the addition of Birch is expected to enhance its capabilities in evaluating and executing potential deals.
“We are delighted to welcome Philip Birch to the Oregen team,” said a company spokesperson. “His deep understanding of the Orange Basin and his track record in identifying and advancing major discoveries will be invaluable as we pursue our strategy in this prolific region.” Birch’s appointment comes at a critical time as Oregen seeks to capitalize on the growing interest in Namibia’s offshore potential, which has attracted major oil companies due to its significant hydrocarbon reserves.
The Orange Basin has been the focus of intense exploration activity following several major discoveries, including the Venus find by TotalEnergies. These discoveries have highlighted the basin’s potential as a major oil and gas hub, and Oregen’s strategic positioning in Block 2812Ab could provide significant upside for the company and its shareholders.
