- 10 Billion Barrels of Oil Discovered off Namibia's Coast | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A new oil deposit has been discovered off the coast of Namibia in southern Africa. The discovery was made by the Portuguese oil company, Galp Energia. Galp says that the deposit contains about 10 Billion barrels of oil. This adds to the earlier discoveries made by Britain's Shell, and France's Total Energies. Altogether, about 21 Billion barrels of oil have been discovered in Namibia so far, and more explorations are underway. Namibia has a chance to use these deposits to boost its economy, but that will take time. Oil production is unlikely to begin before 2029. Namibia will also have to find a way to prevent the Western energy giants from taking the lion's share of the wealth. Palki Sharma tells you more.

They already expanded the embassy, made it bigger.
USA is currently the world's largest producer of oil themselves. Literally a blessed land with everything they need at home.
@@demurgetroid the largest producer but can't use it, most of the time
its fascinating how africa keeps discovering new resources, even after all the exploitation, the land is still so rich
Check their fishing out
OPEC+ is “artificially” keeping prices high. Nobody would be looking for new deposits if the prices weren’t being kept this high. If they start producing more oil these projects will all disappear.
Keep lying to yourselves, the fact is that the president of Namibia is about to be very rich and the population very poor 😂
Africa is huge and still relatively unexplored. Similar to how Canada has a crap load of resources but no roads to even get north to find them. Africa is 3x the size of the US. Plus it has more coastline to exploit as the Arctic is difficult. Even with it's wealth and population the US still finds resources on its lands. Like the recent lithium stuff in nevada.
Without Africa's natural resources many first world countries cannot manufacture goods to enrich themselves!
USA also is to convince UN that Namibia has Weapons of mass destrubution that NATO wants to get rid of 😂😂😂😂😂

As if Namibian discovered it. The US tech company helping them, without there tech? Nah, i don't think so that oil will be discover
Africa is blessed I don't know why their people are suffering
Having mostly corrupt stooges for leaders is

@@utkarshg.bharti9714 there thing is they will just come because Namibia has very low oil company
As a Namibian I'm excited about these oil discoveries. However, we have to get it right. From the legal framework, to ensuring that the vast majority of Namibians benefit from our natural resources. We can do it. It will take time however.
It will take more than time. It will take Namibian citizens holding their politicians to account.
Foreing companies already control 80% of that oil. You will have to remove your current leader if he's compromised
Goodluck from Philippines here.

According to Shell and Total energies : they will produce 500,000 barrels in 2030 but estimation was end of last year and excluded Portuguese Galp. With Galp now on board and said in hurry to develop their oil Wells, it's now estimated that Namibia will start at 700,000 barrels per day. Shell made their 5th discovery just last week again. Totalenergies too and are now still busy with appraising another well as we speak. Total Wells discovered are now 10 and this is only 10% of the area still to be drilled in Orange basin.
On 10% shareholding I have to say there is a different sharing Formula. Government will get 65% share in Revenue. 45% is tax plus 10% shareholding plus another 10% lifting fee =65%.
you write like an oil and gas analyist, given that only ten percernt of the area hass been drilled the reserves estimates will surely rise, that 20billion figure might turn out to be true in the future, i was sceptical initially, about how much oil they found.
Really needed someone to expound on that shareholding structure. Thank you so much. Good news for us here in Botswana. Congratulations Namibia

YOU RIGHT ON SPOT! AND ALL THESE IS JUST THE ORANGE BASINS AT 10%, THERE IS STILL WALVIS BAY BASIN AND OTHERS, AND plus ONSHORE POTENTIAL. AND SINCE THERE IS MASSIVE GOLD DISCOVERIES AND MILLIONS OF TONS OF RARE EATH AT THE SAME TIME, WE MIGHT BE TALKING ABOUT A TRILLION DOLLAR ECONOMY HERE,
They're also really rich with uranium and wind energy (both onshore and offshore). They should use that oil and gas money to help finance nuclear energy and wind farms.
This is so on point. I appreciate the fact that this news report is realistic
It’s insane how much wealth is in Africa. Yet, they have the guts to say Africa is poor. Close Africa for a year and watch the world collapse! Nonsense!
From diamonds to oil they have everything. Blessed piece of land for sure

Namibia has massive gold discoveries, rare metals and the best diamonds, and highly sought after Tantalite/Tantalum one IPL alone reported at 50 000 000 tons of rare metals... And the Oil is LIGHT OIL too. Mind you, before all these massive discoveries, our leadership managed to build one of the best economies in Africa. To the point that their roads/ Infrastructure is ranked THE BEST IN AFRICA and top 25 in the Worl! That's why it's USELESS to follow uninformed comments on "corruption" affect the way the oil discoveries impact the citizens...

@@Lions-Pride-Dominion Insane!!
Why would they send the oil to India when they can build refineries in Namibia and South Africa
@@darshp800 For your information South Africa already has refineries namely: Spref; Enref; Chevref and Natref and has the capacity and technical know-how if has to expand on the existing infrastructure. Secondly what you are saying is false, Saudi Arabia has refineries: Riyadh Refinery (Saudi Aramco); Rabigh Refinery (PetroRabigh); Jeddah Refinery (Saudi Aramco); Ras Tanura Refinery (Saudi Aramco); Yanbu' Refinery (Saudi Aramco);
Yanbu' Refinery (SAMREF) (Saudi Aramco/Exxon Mobil); Yanbu' Refinery (Saudi Aramco/Phillips 66); YASREF Refinery (Yanbu') (Saudi Aramco/Sinopec); Jubail Refinery (SASREF) (Saudi Aramco/Shell); Jubail Refinery (Saudi Aramco/TOTAL).
So again, WHY should they sell the oil to India when they can partner with South Africa (close neighbor) and or build their own refineries?
If India wants to benefit from that, they should build a refinery in Namibia and buy the finished products at a discount from Namibia!
@@darshp800 Firstly they should not sell the raw product to India. They should build their own refineries and sell the finished products to create local jobs and to build technical know-how for their people. For your information South Africa has refineries and technical know-how and Namibia could partner with South Africa (their neighbor) in this regard. They should not allow India or any other nation for that matter to exploit them.
Secondly Saudi Arabia has refineries so do not spread false information to prove a weak point 😂
@@blessingndlovu9037 Read it properly illiterate person, where did I mentioned that Saudi doesn't have refining capacity, I have mentioned Aramco which is world's largest refiner, but it's not able to refine all Saudi oil output. Neither any oil producing country has capacity to refine all extracted oil by itself. Read it carefully.
Read properly first and then comment, and for your kind info I work in the company which supplies drilling units to these gaints.
You don't decide who they can sell too neither can Namibia(which is mostly likely to follow capitalist route) once it signs agreement with Shell, BP or any private ones, they sell it to highest bidder. Welcome to the world of Capitalism.
@@blessingndlovu9037 Read it properly first blank brain, I never mentioned that Saudi has no refinery, I said it doesn't have the capacity to fully refine all the oil output. Neither does any oil producing country.
And lastly neither me nor you decide to whom Namibia sells raw oil, they will follow capitalist route and sell wells to BP, Shell who will sell them to highest bidder. They won't care where you refine it. Welcome to capitalist world.
@@blessingndlovu9037 Where did I even mentioned that Saudi doesn't have any refinery?
That's why our Africa is always blessing.
God bless my country and please protect us from incoming storms like the " American democracy"😭😭
Ten billion barrels is about 3 months of world consumption of oil. Yippee.
Just take note that it's 21 billion barrels discovered in only Wells drilled. Guyana discovered 12 billion barrels in over 30 Wells. Namibia discovered 21 billion in 8 Wells drilled. It looks like Namibia will reach over 50 billion barrels by the time they drill 30 Wells or by the look of things by 20 Wells they will be at 40 billion barrels. This drilling is only 10% of entire block.
Namibia is a beautiful country
Yes ... indeed!!! God bless Namibia and love from Croatia.hr, EU!
Great news for Namibia...
