Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed petroleum geoscientist and former Impact Oil & Gas Exploration Director Philip Birch as a strategic advisor, the company announced. The move comes as Oregen evaluates a potential investment in Namibia’s offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, an area that has emerged as a world-class petroleum province following major discoveries by international operators.
Birch played a key role in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies, one of the most significant discoveries in the region in recent years. According to Oregen, his expertise will support the company’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 strategic focus on the Orange Basin, where the company already holds a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A. The basin has attracted attention from major oil companies due to its high potential for large hydrocarbon discoveries. With Birch’s experience in identifying and advancing prospects, Oregen aims to strengthen its technical capabilities as it considers further investments in the region.
Block 2812Ab is located in a highly prospective area, and Oregen believes that Birch’s background in successful exploration campaigns will be instrumental in evaluating the block’s potential. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins, positioning itself to capitalize on the region’s growing prominence in the global oil and gas industry.
