Speaking during a third quarter 2023 results Q&A, executives at Shell said that the company expects to drill another exploration well and appraisal well and carry out another flow test offshore Namibia over the next six to nine months, as the company moves towards understanding a development pathway for its Namibia assets.
Shell is currently working in Namibia’s Orange Basin with Odfjell Drilling-managed 7,500-ft semisubmersible Deepsea Bollsta. The company has already drilled five exploration wells, an appraisal well and carried out a successful flow test offshore Namibia.
Shell executives said that roughly a quarter of its deepwater exploration spending in 2023 and 2024 was going towards Namibia.
