Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) announced the appointment of Philip Birch as a strategic advisor, bringing decades of expertise in petroleum geoscience and exploration strategy. Birch, formerly Exploration Director at Impact Oil & Gas, was instrumental in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. His appointment comes as Oregen evaluates a potential investment in Namibia’s offshore Block 2812Ab in the Orange Basin, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway.
Oregen Energy, an investment company focused on oil and gas assets in Africa, views the Orange Basin as an emerging world-class petroleum province. The company’s current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A in the same basin, which has seen multiple recent discoveries by major operators. The addition of Birch to the team is expected to bolster Oregen’s subsurface evaluation and technical positioning as the company considers expanding its portfolio.
Birch’s expertise will be critical in assessing the potential of Block 2812Ab, which lies in a region that has attracted significant industry attention following the Venus discovery. The Orange Basin has become a hotspot for exploration, with major oil companies making substantial finds. Oregen’s strategic move to engage Birch signals its intent to capitalize on the basin’s potential and aligns with its broader strategy of investing in high-impact oil and gas assets in Africa.
