Galp targets 10 billion barrel prospect in debut Namibian exploration campaign | Upstream Online

Galp Energia is set, within weeks, to spud a high-profile exploration probe offshore Namibia, targeting an enormous prospect called Mopane that may house up to 10 billion barrels of oil in place.

After TotalEnergies and Shell hit big oil with their Orange basin drilling campaigns, Galp will be just the third company to try its hand at making major discovery in this new global exploration hot spot.
