Jonker-1 wildcat has found hydrocarbons in a different geological play to Shell’s previous Graff and Rona finds offshore Namibia
The temperature is rising again in Namibia’s Orange basin, the world’s hottest new hydrocarbon hunting ground, with Upstream told that early signs from Shell’s Jonker-1 exploration probe are promising.
Northern Ocean’s semi-submersible rig Deepsea Bollsta began drilling the high-profile well in Block 2913A in mid-December. The probe is chasing a different geological play to the Upper Cretaceous light oil discoveries made last year by Shell’s Graff-1 and La Rona-1 exploration wells.
