Dennis Zekveld, Shell’s Country Chair in Namibia, made the following comment on the initial results: “We are encouraged by a further deep-water discovery, our third in Namibia, and pleased to confirm the safe conclusion of the well. Jonker again demonstrated the Joint Venture’s strong commitment to advancing oil & gas exploration in Namibia and to progressing follow-up opportunities after last year’s discoveries. We look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Namibia.”
The Deepsea Bollsta semi-sub rig will remain in PEL 0039 to drill further wells as part of the Joint Venture’s ongoing exploration and appraisal campaign.
