Oil major Shell’s Cullinan-1X exploration well, offshore Namibia, did not yield a commercial oil and gas discovery. This is located approximately 60 kilometers north of the Lesedi-1X exploration well and close to the border with the Galp-operated block, which was drilled by the Deepsea Bollsta.
Oil major Shell’s Cullinan-1X exploration well, offshore Namibia, did not yield a commercial oil and gas discovery. This is located approximately 60 kilometers north of the Lesedi-1X exploration well and close to the border with the Galp-operated block, which was drilled by the Deepsea Bollsta.
The well did not result in discovery but was encouraged to have found indications of a working petroleum system in this previously untested area of Shell license. Shell has since plugged and abandoned the well and will analyze the data gathered before deciding on any follow-up activities.
In recent years, Shell, in collaboration with its partners QatarEnergy and Namibia’s national oil company, has made four oil discoveries in Namibia, including the Graff and Jonker wells.
