Game over’: TotalEnergies chief says recent Namibia oilfind is not commercial

Patrick Pouyanne says Tamboti’s permeability is ’not good’, although exploration sources say fracking and horizontal drilling could perhaps change the picture.

TotalEnergies chief executive Patrick Pouyanne has written off the possibility of developing the company’s recent Tamboti-1X oil discovery offshore Namibia, a view described as possibly premature by exploration sources contacted by Upstream.

This ultra-deepwater probe was drilled by the semi-submersible rig Deepsea Mira at a location north of the French player’s huge Venus discovery — which is under development — and close to its earlier Mangetti discovery.

Before drilling, Pouyanne indicated the well was targeting a potential 1 billion-barrel resource.
