Chevron is excited to continue to test its exploration portfolio in Namibia. We look forward to strengthening our partnerships as we work to support Namibia’s long-term energy sector. Harmattan Energy Limited holds a 52.5% Working Interest (WI) and operatorship of PEL 90. QatarEnergy International E&P LLC holds a 27.5% and Namibia national oil company NAMCOR and Trago Energy each hold 10%.
As the Namibia Country Manager Beatrice Bienvenu said, at the Namibia International Energy Conference in Windhoek on April 15 “I am excited to share that Chevron is moving into the next phase of our exploration program. Building on those insights, we expect to drill the Nabba-1X well in PEL 90 in late 2026. This next step is a testament to our confidence in Namibia’s offshore potential and our commitment to thoroughly testing our portfolio. We are here for the long term, and every well we drill strengthens our partnership with this country.”
Modestus Amutse, Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy added,“Chevron’s decision to proceed with a second well in Namibia signals strong confidence in our resource base. The ongoing exploration activities reflect Namibia’s growing standing as a credible and competitive destination for responsible investment. The Namibian Government remains committed to constructive engagement with investors to ensure developments align with national interests and deliver meaningful benefits to our economy and our people,” Modestus Amutse, Minister of Industries, Mines and Energy for Namibia said.
