BW Energy is poised to launch an aggressive drilling campaign at its Petroleum Production License 003 in Namibia, with a new gas well scheduled between September and October 2025. The announcement, made by Manfriedt Muundjua, Deputy General Manager of BW Kudu, signals a major push to unlock the full potential of the Kudu gas project.
With drilling equipment already procured and expected for delivery by June, the company is moving at unprecedented speed. A second well is already in planning stages for early 2026, signaling the company’s confidence in the region’s prospects.
“At Kudu, we already have the historical gas-to-power project built on existing resources of 1.3 trillion cubic feet. Two years ago, we tasked our geologists with finding additional resources across the block,” Muundjua revealed at the Namibia International Energy Conference.
This accelerated drilling program follows BW Energy’s acquisition of approximately 5,000 square kilometers of 3D seismic data, providing critical intelligence to support the company’s ambitious exploration plans in what’s rapidly becoming one of Africa’s most promising energy frontiers.
