The National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) says there is huge potential for more hydrocarbon or petroleum discoveries to be made in Namibia, with both land and offshore areas underexplored.

This was revealed by NAMCOR experts during a technical session on Namibia's Regional Petroleum Potential at the Namibia International Energy Conference in Windhoek today 

During the session, the experts revealed that Namibia is home to four recognised offshore basins and two onshore basins, in which more than 30 exploration wells have been drilled to date. 

Women in Oil, Gas, and Energy Network Namibia (WOGEN) was launched at the Namibia International Energy Conference recently.

The network, established by seven female professionals in the oil, gas, and energy sectors, also introduced the Deputy Minister of Mines and Energy, Kornelia Shilunga, as their founding patron, honouring her for the work she has done in the sector to date.

Good Morning Namibia spoke to Mwanyengwa Ndapewoshali Shapwanale, the Founding Director of WOGEN.
