Oregen Energy Corp. has appointed Philip Birch, a petroleum geoscientist who helped identify the Venus prospect, as strategic advisor to evaluate a potential investment in Namibia's offshore Block 2812Ab adjacent to the Venus discovery.

Oregen Energy Corp. (CSE: ORNG) (OTCQB: ORGEF) (FSE: A1S0) has appointed Philip Birch, a former exploration director at Impact Oil & Gas, as a strategic advisor. Birch, a petroleum geoscientist, was instrumental in identifying and advancing the Venus prospect in Namibia's Orange Basin prior to its successful drilling by TotalEnergies. The company is evaluating a potential investment in Block 2812Ab, which sits adjacent to the Venus discovery within the same proven petroleum fairway.
According to the announcement, Birch's expertise will support Oregen's exploration strategy, subsurface evaluation, and technical positioning related to the block. The appointment comes as Oregen seeks to capitalize on the emerging world-class petroleum province in the Orange Basin, where multiple major operators have made recent discoveries. The block is strategically located in a highly prospective area, and Birch's knowledge of the region's geology is expected to guide the company's decision-making process.
Oregen Energy is an investment company primarily focused on oil and gas assets in Africa. Its current flagship investment is a 33.95% net interest in Block 2712A, also in the Orange Basin offshore Namibia. The company is actively exploring other investment opportunities in the Orange and surrounding basins. The addition of Birch aligns with Oregen's strategy to leverage experienced professionals to evaluate and potentially expand its portfolio in this prolific region.
