In TROVE News today we are looking at an under-explored region, the conjugate margin of the prolific Orange Basin offshore Namibia. In this video we look at recent activity in Argentina, Uruguay and the Falkland Islands. We give a high-level geological overview for the region focused on the passive margin then dive into some news from the last few months. Argentina's first ultra-deep well is spudding Q4 2023 operated by Equinor with partners Shell and YPF. Uruguay's offshore Licence Round has completed successfully awarding all offshore blocks, winners include Challenger Energy, Shell, YPF and APA. The Vaca Muerta prolific shale gas and shale oil province continues to ramp up production with recent infrastructure upgrades ongoing to allow increased export. Some licence exchange activity has occurred in the North Malvinas basin (JHI Associates licence acquisition agreement with Argos Resources Ltd for PL001) and farm-out discussions are ongoing for Borders & Southerns Darwin discovery, South of the Falkland Islands. All of the information in this video can be found in our TROVE database. This impressive product is a 'must have' for E&P companies working in this region.
