Namibia is aiming for first oil production from TotalEnergies’ Venus field in 2029/2030, the country's petroleum commissioner Maggy Shino said on Wednesday.

The southern African country, which is yet to produce any oil or gas, has become a global exploration hotspot after offshore discoveries by TotalEnergies and Shell.

Namibia is seeking to accelerate the timeline to first production, Shino told delegates at an international energy conference.
