It appears everyone have been drilling above the Aptian Shale and should have drilled through it. Which is what they said with the Welwitschia well, they did not reach the deeper targets
"In Namibia, it’s interesting that ExxonMobil has taken a large new acreage position in the Namibe Basin in Northern Namibia where north of the Walvis Ridge there is some salt. In the Walvis basin and essentially totally undrilled Luderitz Basin though, there is now also clear evidence that many of the historic wells were drilled above the Upper Aptian Shale, which appears to be over pressured and could be acting as a seal. Equally interesting is the fact that the few wells drilled below the seal in the right parts of these and the Orange Basin to the south all found hydrocarbons where the wells encountered any reservoir. New wells that will test this concept will almost certainly result."

Clearly there is additional acreage, we just have to wait and see who have made a deal with them. Could it be GBP ?
