(CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) announced the appointment of petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as strategic advisor, as the company evaluates a potential investment in Namibia’s offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin. Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies, and Oregen said his expertise will support exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation and technical positioning related to the block, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway.
The appointment comes as Oregen Energy continues to strengthen its position in the emerging world-class petroleum province of the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. The company's current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A, located in the same basin. With multiple recent discoveries by major operators, the region has become a focal point for oil and gas exploration. Birch's involvement is expected to provide critical insights as Oregen considers expanding its portfolio into Block 2812Ab.
Philip Birch brings a wealth of experience to Oregen, having previously served as Exploration Director at Impact Oil & Gas, where he was instrumental in the identification and progression of the Venus discovery.
