Shell confirms light oil offshore Namibia

Shell and Namcor have announced a light oil discovery at the Graff-1, offshore Namibia.

Shell drilled the well, finding crude in the primary and secondary targets. The company used the Valaris DS-10 rig.

“Results from our exploration well are encouraging, establishing the presence of a working petroleum system with light oil,” said a Shell representative.

“We’ll continue evaluating the data and conduct further exploration activity to determine the extent of the system and how much of the hydrocarbons can be recovered.”
