The area of the EIA sponsored by Global covers a large section of the Walvis Basin, extending well beyond the boundaries of Global\u2019s Licence PEL 94.<\/p>\n<p>As previously announced, Global is seeking a farm-in a partner to fund the further work<br \/>\nprogramme in PEL 94. The current commitment is the acquisition of 2,000 sq. kms of 3D<br \/>\nseismic data. To shoot 3D seismic would be particularly interesting in the eastern part of the block, where it is estimated there are leads with a total of over 2 billion barrels of gross best estimate (P50) prospective resources. These leads are currently defined by a 2D seismic data grid only.<\/p>\n<p>The existing 3D seismic data coverage over the two prospects, Welwitschia Deep and Marula, has facilitated the calculation of gross best estimate (P50) prospective resources of 881 million barrels in total. Global regards Welwitschia Deep and Marula as drill ready, and if a farm-in partner were to agree with this assessment there would be the option, with the consent of the Namibian authorities, to proceed directly to drilling.<\/p>\n<p>From a wider Namibian perspective, further exploration and appraisal drilling is planned by Shell and TotalEnergies commencing before the end of this year. According to reports, TotalEnergies will operate 2 wells, the first a re-entry\/test of the original exploration well, Venus 1-X, the second an appraisal well, and Shell has contracted a 12 month drilling programme, extendable for 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Hill, Global Petroleum\u2019s CEO, commented:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cWe are pleased to have agreed to sponsor the EIA Survey over a wide area of the Walvis<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Basin.
