OFFSHORE ASSOCIATED GAS PROCESSING AND MONETISATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN NAMIBIA

Summary

Namibia's Orange Basin holds world-class oil and gas resources, but no field is yet at Final Investment Decision (FID). Associated gas monetization is technically feasible but commercially constrained by ultra-deepwater costs, high gas-to-oil ratios, and the absence of any existing offshore gas infrastructure. The only near-term certainty is gas reinjection at Venus; all export pathways remain speculative pending FID.
