Caption:  On the 29 June 2016 to 1 July 2016 NAMCOR staff members together with the Directorate of Petroleum Affairs in the Ministry of Mines and Energy undertook a trip on board the Maersk Drilling Rig.

The trip provided a worthwhile opportunity to NAMCOR and MME staff members to visit a drilling rig for the first time as well as familiarise themselves with oil and gas procedures on board a rig. The Maesrk drilling rig is comprised of crew from all over the world and the junior staff are always locally employed staff.

Caption: The Exploration & Production reached its WIG of N$20 400 million data sales.

Sales stand at a staggering N$22 537 458.27. A combination of efforts ranging from participation in carefully selected international oil and gas conferences, advertising in international oil and gas publications and specialised data promotional packages contributed to this commendable achievement.

Caption: The Exploration & Production Department is involved in a project that will see more value being placed on high hydro- carbon potential blocks.

The Prospect Inventory Project which is being implemented for the rst time in the E & P department, aims to identify blocks that demonstrate high value. It will assist Government to put value on the blocks, allowing it opportunity to devote its energies appropriately. It will also provide NAMCOR with key technical insight in order to make informed decisions when applying for new blocks.

The department also views the exercise as a key capacity building opportunity, as it has challenged staff to actively research on areas they have done little or no research on. Schlumberger gives Petrel software support which is used for data interpretation of this project.
